Luxury products by factory rates
Several movies circulating on X. Chinese suppliers reveal that they produce items for brands similar to Chanel, Esteee Lauder, Bobbi Brown and others. These suppliers offer the same goods with no logo, claiming that they’re manufactured from top quality materials and a certified workforce. Some suppliers promise to cover import duties and offer free shipping.
One of the suppliers claimed that the Birkin bag, which sells for $ 34,000 (about 29 lakh) actually costs only one,400 USD (about 1.2 lakh). “The creators of the bags receive a very low profit margin, while most are in the brand’s pocket for their logo,” said the supplier.
Campaign in social media amongst business voltages
This trend becomes a visual precipitation of ongoing business tensions between the United States and China. Former US president Donald Trump forced American corporations to provide back to the USA. In response, Chinese producers seem to make use of social platforms to share the recording from behind the backstage of their production lines and price failures.
“The actual cost of the #birkin handbag and what you really pay for”, read the post shared by a movie explaining the structure of the price of the Designer’s bag.
Some posts suggest that products sold as “assholes” can actually be originals without branding. “Yang Dupe Kau Bela is actually Ori here”, commented on one user, referring to the popular belief that many fakes can come from the same factories utilized by luxury brands.
The tariff war takes place online
The movies caused a debate on whether the US can effectively proceed the trade war strategy. “Gag is such that even when paying an import tariff and shipping it is much cheaper than buying the same products through American corporations. We do not win this trade war of LMAO,” said one user on X.
The next video was aimed toward solving the stereotype around the “Made in China” products by showing an in depth production process, emphasizing the involved skills and quality of the material.
China keeps their position
Despite the 145 percent American tariff for Chinese goods, China raised their very own retaliation duties to 125 percent and didn’t show signs of withdrawal. Instead, Beijing focuses on internal reforms and expanding trade partnerships.
Chinese President XI Jinping called American means “unilateral intimidation.” His ministers repeated this sentiment, stating that China will not be undergoing external pressure and can proceed to “fight to the end.”
