Guangzhou, a major manufacturing hub in China, is feeling the adverse effects of the ongoing tariff war initiated by the U.S. government under Trump. Local factory owners, such as Lily Liao, face significant declines in orders from U.S. clients, with reports indicating some factories have halted shipments completely. Despite the challenges, these businesses continue to operate, as U.S. orders only constitute a small portion of their exports. Factory owners express uncertainty and adapt to shifting U.S. policies, emphasizing the fragile state of international trade relations.
The tariff war is ultimately going to hurt everyone; people like me, who just want to make a living, says Lily Liao, owner of Guangzhou Dawang Garment.
U.S. policies change every day, customers are sitting back and watching, says Mr. Wang, founder of Guangshen, as he halts shipments to the U.S.
