Before Trump’s visit to China, Yiwu business owners had already started smiling

In diplomatic news, the most excited people might not be experts, but those involved in foreign trade.
Especially Yiwu business owners.
Because they understand the importance of China-U.S. relations too well.
Americans say “decoupling” out loud, but when placing orders, they still ask, “Can it be a little cheaper?”
Many foreign trade merchants now feel only one thing: policies are like the weather, orders are like an electrocardiogram.
As soon as the news of Trump’s visit to China broke, many in the cross-border circle started discussing: Will tariffs loosen? Will logistics stabilize? Will the dollar change?
Don’t underestimate these questions; they directly affect the profits of countless factory owners.
Netizens joked: “One decision by Trump could affect whether Yiwu business owners change their BMWs this year.”
Though exaggerated, this also reflects reality.
Today, in the development of globalization, the China-U.S. economy is actually like a “complicated romantic relationship”: arguing every day, but still inseparable.
And China’s biggest advantage in manufacturing is not just affordability, but a complete industrial chain.
Even with the large U.S. market, it’s very difficult to find a full substitute in a short period.
So many merchants are now very pragmatic: who is president doesn’t matter; stable orders are the most important.
Ultimately, ordinary people have never cared about international terminology; they care whether their wallets are getting thicker. #特朗普5月13日访华
