The Trade War is a lie. They just changed the label.
You think those tariffs are protecting US manufacturing?
Think again. The Matrix is just playing a giant shell game with your money.
While the politicians celebrate Chinese exports plunging 40%, they are ignoring the reality that US imports from Southeast Asia just surged 25% to a record $40 Billion.
Vietnam is leading the charge with an all-time high of $18 Billion.
It is the exact same supply chain, just with a new layover.
Companies are aggressively rerouting trade, $23.7 Billion in September alone, to dodge the 37% tariff.
The cost advantage in Asia is still 20-100% cheaper than the West, even with the new rules.
They didn't stop the flow of cheap goods. They just made the shipping route longer.
Don't listen to the headlines, follow the shipping containers.
