China Faces Major Losses, Chinese Manufacturers Struggle to Find New Buyers

The trade war with the United States is costing China dearly—not only in economic terms but also in the daily lives of millions of people, writes Al Jazeera, as reported by The Geopost. Since the Trump administration declared relations with China a “strategic competition” and imposed high tariffs on most Chinese products, Chinese factories have been hit hard.

While the Beijing government refuses to make concessions, the reality on the ground tells a different story: manufacturers are unable to find buyers, orders are declining, and workers face shorter working hours, lower wages, and, in many cases, job losses. For many Chinese families, this trade war has become a struggle for survival as China loses ground in international markets./The Geopost/
