According to reports from China Economic Network, a trend of popular science has swept across TikTok, where Chinese suppliers and manufacturers are educating foreign consumers about the real operation mode of global luxury goods, branded clothing, and other markets.

In essence, many people think that branded clothes and handbags from Europe are actually made in China.

In this process, another Chinese cross-border e-commerce platform has become popular - DHgate.

What can I say? There are many roads leading to New York. You may be able to build high walls to prevent dealers from sourcing products from China, but you cannot stop Americans from buying Chinese goods.

This is also one aspect where Trump seriously misjudged, as he believed that China depends on the American market.

But in reality, it's not China that depends on America, but America that depends on China.

Trump has once again become the spokesperson.

The contribution of Made in China to the world is huge, yet many foreigners do not fully understand it. At most, they know that many things they use are "Made in China." As for the consequences of being unable to obtain Chinese sanctions, and how it would impact their lives, they lack a true understanding, seemingly taking it all for granted.

Now, with Trump initiating an economic war, he could not hold out for even a few days before starting to grant exemptions and expressing hope for reaching an agreement with China. This has made the entire world realize that it is America that depends on China.

To put it simply, during Trump's first term, he had already done something similar by inadvertently promoting Huawei. Before that, the world did not fully understand how strong Huawei's technology was. However, by repeatedly suppressing a private enterprise, Trump unintentionally let the world know about Huawei's capabilities.

Now, Trump's new moves have a similar effect. When the decoupling truly happens, Americans will realize that Made in China is not just an optional substitute but the core backbone of the entire supply chain.

The Global Supply Chain Knows No East or West

In fact, the global supply chain is no longer at the stage of being intertwined; it is thoroughly integrated.

For instance, brands like Nike, Coach, and LV have their supply chains deeply rooted in China: from material procurement, mold design, mass production, to packaging logistics, everything is completed in China.

Many people still perceive China as merely a factory, at most as the world's factory, without realizing China's supporting facilities and industrial chains.

Today, China has evolved into a "global architect." Production is not an isolated process or subcontracting, but a complete, highly efficient collaborative system, seamlessly integrating from the upstream raw materials to the downstream after-sales service within China's industrial clusters.

Trump Understands Nothing

When Trump initiated the economic war, he appeared very confident, posing with a sign, looking full of confidence. But within a few days, he began retreating step by step. He boasts of being a successful businessman who understands "the art of the deal," yet the world sees him as an extremely ignorant president who knows nothing.

What's funny is that to ensure absolute loyalty among his subordinates, he appointed a group of incompetent officials. In other words, a group of clueless advisors paired with an ignorant president would inevitably make decisions of a certain level.

They believed that doing so would force manufacturing back to the United States, but the jobs taken away from Americans were not due to China or globalization. Instead, it was the U.S. choosing a model where the world works for America, indulging itself in financial arbitrage and capital bubbles.
