US 🇺🇸 Tariff China 🇨🇳 are we in a weaker position?

Trump administration has definitely miscalculated how much hardship China is willing to put up with in order to not be seen in a weak position.

I think you miscalculated how much BS a communist regime is willing to put out there to keep from looking weak.

So it appears amazon loaded up pre-tariff on supplies from china in march. they then significantly reduced the storage allowance for third party sellers on amazon and used the extra storage for their own products. it will be interesting to see if the prices start climbing on products sold by Amazon or if they will hold their prices down at the normal levels.
