Trump has introduced a new policy where Americans no longer have the exemption from tariffs and other additional duties for purchases under $800 from China. Has this led to a noticeable increase in your cost of living? What are your thoughts on this?
I am Chienese and working on the export business, i want to know is everybody in America know this news?
HERE IS IN CALCULCULATION ON Textile material lunch bag：
The base tariff rate: 17.6%
According to Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, additional tariff rate: 25% Tariff rate imposed by the presidential executive order: 10% Total applicable tariff rate: 52.6%
SO if you pay for an item value$10, 52.6% is for US customs.
Dang everything under $800 that’s from China even yes have went up in price😭
Yes, I am aware and am really upset about it. I don't think most Americans understand the full implications. RIP all the cute, fun stuff I loved to order from Temu and AliExpress. I hope something changes soon, but I feel like Trump is aggressively against Chinese imports, which is crazy since China makes almost everything that Americans use daily and America does not have the workforce or factory infrastructure to even begin to compete.
Those who buy these low value stuff are most low income, with this tariffs, life will be harder and harder. No plan at all for this president, just claim to solve the problems he created
A large number of independent artists who make merch are very concerned about this increase.
Restaurants might not like the increase. Even toy companies wouldn't like the increase. Not to mention Asian/International stores wouldn't like it. We don't need increases. Have increases nobody's going to afford anything. It'll effect people's social security and EBT funds.
mannnn, going to price me out of my asian markets 😢 I've been eating so much ramen, veggies, soup base, snacks. next month i wanna try their meats. i got a hot pot base i wanna cook up 😋
Post this in r/china then? Wtf does this have to do with the app?
I just saw in the news that tariffs on China are paused for now, but sounds like it is just to give the government employees time to figure how to actually collect the tariffs, which is a huge undertaking, with how many packages from China come to the US daily. It's a huge volume. And collecting tariffs on thousands of small packages seems like it would be quite tedious and time-consuming. I wonder what will happen next.
So you’re thinking about switching (or at least dabbling) from TikTok to **Rednote** (aka Xiaohongshu)? Here’s a quick rundown on what to expect and how to adapt: 1. **Different Vibe** * **TikTok** is all about short, snappy videos—dances, trends, and memes. * **Rednote** leans more toward lifestyle tips, product reviews, and personal stories. Think mini-blogs rather than just quick clips. 2. **Less is More—or Is It?** * On **TikTok**, you can go viral with a 15-second masterpiece. * On **Rednote**, people actually read captions and appreciate detailed posts. Don’t be afraid to write a bit more and share personal insights. 3. **Engage with the Community** * Responding to comments is key on both platforms, but **Rednote** users expect a friendlier, more helpful approach. Focus on real interaction rather than just racking up views. 4. **Use Relevant Hashtags & Keywords** * **TikTok** hashtags can be trendy and fleeting. * **Rednote** hashtags and keywords should be more targeted, especially if you’re reviewing products or sharing how-to tips. 5. **Be Ready for Culture Shifts** * The **Rednote** audience often loves beauty, travel, fashion, and “real-life” hacks. * If you’re pivoting from dance challenges, consider experimenting with lifestyle or review content to fit the platform’s style. 6. **Quality Over Quantity** * While **TikTok** can reward frequent posting, **Rednote** might favor fewer, well-thought-out posts that really resonate. High-quality visuals and genuine storytelling go a long way. Got questions about Rednote? Drop ’em below—always happy to help a fellow content creator make the jump!
Why exactly? You and me know why America is banning tiktok... They can't control the narrative their like they do with Facebook or Instagram YouTube. etc The genocide in Gaza was being shown in its full without any kind of censorship... And daddy israel doesn't like that so the AIPAC who's holding the American politicians by the balls... Forced them into banning the app.... It's not about privacy or any of that.... Remember edward Snowden.? I rest my case.
Say it with me....because he and his oligarch buddies are getting worried Americans are waking up to the truth about the anti-China propaganda BS in Red Note and will either demand better conditions or go full socialist.
