He SCMP touched With distributors in Huaqiangbei, a district of the city of Tech Hub of Shenzhen who specializes in chips trade. According to these distributors, the prices of popular chips of the main American manufacturers shot up to 40 percent after Trump tariffs were announced, killing the demand for end user products.
There was still retail traffic in the streets of Huaqiangbei, but experts hoped that free sales of free sales collapse in the next few days.
“Orders have been looted since last week. We have hardly had orders in recent days due to price increase,” said a distributor.
“It makes no sense to work at this time – We are not making money, and remain open only adds to our expenses, “added the distributor.
He Washington Post base The “desperate” electronic commerce industry “because the huge rate of 145 percent of Trump would surely kill through its business with the US client.
