Chinese goods exported to the United States have lowered the US price level by 1%-1.5%..." This is the 2015 data provided by the US-China Trade National Committee and the Oxford Economic Research Institute. The Sino-US economic and trade relationship is the pressure of bilateral relations. Cabin stone, but the Trump administration of the United States has turned a blind eye to the win-win situation between China and the United States. Some people in the United States do not trust China's investment, they are worried about the US deficit in US-China trade, and even trade wars. Many ordinary American families have to accept punishment. A recent survey of his own family and some American families in Washington, DC, shows that Sino-US trade has enriched the lives of American families, from birthday gifts to sausages on the table, from color-printed books to “ In the rust zone created by the United States, the United States cannot say "no" to China.
Buying toys can save $100 a year
If the United States and China start a trade war, such a "big policy" at the national level will inevitably directly affect the lives of thousands of American families. The same is true of my family. For my 7-year-old daughter, the status of the toy is paramount. More than 20 gifts received by her daughter at her birthday party last month were basically toys, and they were all made in China. Most toys cost about $30. In the first 10 months of her daughter's school year, almost every month, children have birthdays to give gifts. Plus Christmas and peace of mind to buy toys for children, conservative estimates, if you buy Chinese-made toys, my family can save $100 a year. American housewives also have to settle accounts. An American mother with a dragon and a baby told me that if a toy costs more than $30, she will definitely not be able to buy both her son and her daughter. They can only play the same one together.
When it comes to Christmas, I don’t know how many American families want to thank "Made in China." The ubiquitous Christmas tree and Christmas decorations are mostly from China. I bought a nearly two-meter-high artificial Christmas tree flower at the Wal-Mart supermarket for $35, including decorations such as lanterns. Looking at the little girl happily hanging the decorations on the tree, I really don't know how to thank the Chinese workers who made the Christmas tree. You know, some states in the United States have raised their minimum wage to 20 dollars per hour in 2018. If this Christmas tree is produced in the United States, it is impossible to sell only $35.
McIlroy, the owner of the manufacturing company that supplies large retailers in the United States, told me that the cost of manufacturing in China is very different from the cost of manufacturing in the United States because of labor, so American retailers like to import from China. Their pricing in the US market is more flexible, easier to get high profits, and more popular with consumers. McIlroy's barbecue machine imported from China for a chain of retailers, even after the tariff increase is still a few dollars cheaper than the US, so the purchaser will not easily replace the supplier.
In the United States, the main cost of children is clothes and shoes. As the child grows, American families buy new sizes of clothing and shoes every six months. American children are still very picky and not satisfied with a single style. Compared to a Swedish-style children's clothing store with a French brand starting at $80 and starting at $50, American parents sometimes prefer to visit American-brand stores with a price of around $20. This way you can get more choices for $100. In fact, no matter whether it is a low-priced or high-priced brand store, most of the products still have the "Made in China" component, and the larger the fashion brand, the more likely it is to be manufactured in China, because the complex technology and material requirements of the modern fashion industry are not met. Easy. For example, many common brands of towels and bath towels in the United States are imported from India. Some sportswear is made in Cambodia or Vietnam. The materials and style requirements are relatively simple, but some popular children's wear is still "Made in China".
There are a variety of extracurricular interest classes in our school district. Tuition fees for interest classes are not very expensive, but each class has its own equipment requirements. Many children's football, swimwear, ballet dance, and metronome for piano lessons are all made in China. Last year, in a flea market, when I sold the used football shoes and leggings made in China to a US mother with three children for a "high price" of $3, she said: "I didn't think that the equipment was expensive. Children can report to the football class, and this can be reported. "It can be seen that the inexpensive Chinese products have also made some low-income American families have more choices in their children's education, and indirectly provide employment opportunities for teachers in extracurricular classes.
When I look through the European and American media recently, I can see that the heads of commercial groups such as the National Manufacturers Association of the United States and the National Retail Federation of the United States have warned that a trade war with China will "substantially increase the cost of American consumers" and "punish the average American." . According to the Washington Post, shoppers in American farmers and supermarkets are likely to feel pain in the trade war, many of whom have voted for Trump. Many retail companies have sent a letter to Trump, no longer exacerbating the gap between the rich and the poor in the United States, and no longer punishing low-income working families in the United States.
Direct import of Chinese goods is only part of Sino-US trade. Chinese people’s contributions to American families have long been ubiquitous. Almost all states in the United States have investments from Chinese companies. Chinese companies also employ approximately 150,000 US employees directly in some “rust zones†in the United States. After Shuanghui Group acquired Smithfield Foods, the world's largest pork processing company, in the past few years, the meat products produced by the company also became the choice of American family table.
I randomly pulled out 10 children's books at home, and there are actually 7 books printed in China. This reminds me of the difficulties I had planned to publish in the United States many years ago: the publisher said that I can publish my book, but it is best not to have photos inside, if it is, it must be black and white, because color printing is extremely expensive in the United States, if Printing in color, my book will not be sold to many readers because of the high price. As a result, my English book, which mainly wanted to introduce China's development and changes in color photos, was still in China. Children's books have more pictures and more colors. It is very difficult to print and maintain a retail price of $20 at the same time.
All aspects of life above do not include all kinds of electronic products necessary for the digital age: from mobile phones to computers, from "flat" to Amazon's new Echo voice-activated computer, many electronic products purchased by American families are assembled in China. of. The mother with the dragon and phoenix told me: "Fortunately, now that the computer is cheap, you can buy one for each child, otherwise the two will share the first one for the time being." She also knows that if the Apple phone is not assembled in China, the retail price It will be much higher than the current price.
The US-China Business Council’s report in previous years said that Sino-US trade can save $850 per year for every typical American family. Both McIlroy and I have studied the supply chain management and believe that smooth Sino-US trade can save more American families. McIlroy said that China has become an important part of the global commercial supply chain. The speed, quality and scale of "Made in China" cannot be easily copied and replaced by other developing countries and even the United States. This is the past 30 years of Chinese manufacturing. The result of continuous practice and improvement. Many industries, such as the toy industry, footwear industry, and processing of materials, have formed large-scale industrial clusters in China. Their competitiveness is difficult to shake at least in the next 5 to 10 years, which is why many American companies choose to manufacture products in China.
