......The takeaway is that the trade war shock for imported Chinese goods is underway. Imported volumes of high-volume staples are likely to crater through the end of June, which may spark shortages.

The days of choosing from 150 different types of Chinese Bluetooth speakers on Amazon are ending. And, Oh, what a shame for the consumer. Maybe it's back to a time when there were just a few dozen - and many of those speakers were of great quality - not today's junk that fuels the 'plastic throw away culture'. Shouldn't the 'green' activists be all about this?

Yes, from today we stopped all air shipment via Fedex from China, each month we have around 150 shipment to US for some urgent orders.
The local US stocks still can sell 1 month-1.5 months, so Middle June price will be crazy higher if no deal made between US and China. Some models already use up.

China did a good job of riding the gold train up, and now needs the cash to keep the China Ship from tariff grounding - looks like they will attempt to outlast Trump in this trade war
