• U.S. tariffs on China have slashed maritime bookings by 50%, cutting off vital supply chains.
• Thousands to millions of U.S. small businesses may go bankrupt this year — most can't relocate production from China.
• Chinese factories are now acquiring collapsing American brands, taking over the final piece of the value chain.
• $1 trillion in economic activity is vanishing — and retail’s 3x markups are built on these imports.
• America will be forced to roll back tariffs to avoid deeper recession. It’s just a matter of time.
