The only ones whom will be hurt, will be the Chinese manufacturers whom produced such goods.....Sadly, such is how the China CCP govt had grievously harmed its own hard working entrepreneurs, misusing them for propaganda TIT FOR TAT measures to avoid NEGOTIATIONS to create a better & fairer trade system for ALL Humankind...
Take the example of the company LVMH that was mentioned, started by the ThreadStarter.
1. Louis Vuitton TOOK centuries to build up his fashion house, thru his progenies whom were taught in every aspect of quality & management, which he started in 1854 in France. They hired many, but eventually, only the best & those whom can meet the QUALITY standards of Vuitton were made staff of his enterprise.
It is no surprise that his progenies would seek out cheaper or slave labor to produce the kind of Quality that the Founder had demanded back then, & now for higher profits, even at the costs of their own fellow citizens. The Chinese People of 1.4Billion working force population was chosen, & the selected good ones had the unique opportunity to be trained & managed by the best.
2. Most consumers would not had known of such, as each LV good is labelled & serialized which bears the hallmark & standards of LV, & critically, believed to be made by renowned French artisans....until now.
3. With this rather fortunate or unfortunate revelation by the CCP govt of China thru its social media networks, whose intention was to retaliate back at the tariffs, to make consumers know that it was SUPREME Chinese artisans whom made those products & were scammed by paying thousand dollars more than they need to, & strangely enough, they did not mention the hardships & salaries of those Chinese artisans whom were being exploited, being a Communist State with a foundation principle to END exploitation the common masses.....
4. With its call to buy DIRECT from China for such luxury goods, which the insignificant nobody me had supported in order to help the Chinese masses, however, the CCP govt had only made it worse for them with such revelations:-
i) They MUST understand the concept of BRANDING. It took Vuitton & his descendants CENTURIES to build up his brand & customer loyalty in return for quality goods.
ii) For example, consumers Worldwide would not know of Ah Huat Manufacturing or State Number 24 Factory, where those LV trained artisans are employed. Nor had those goods been tested over time to prove as evidence of quality.
Thus for them to simply scream & shout on social media that they too are capable of LV standards, is a joke & will only backfire, as MANY customers had sadly came to know of China's standards on Quality, from a mere footwear to an EV car........
I wish them all the best, & may those enterprises there focus on quality & branding, with evidences & building of trust in dealing direct with consumers, in China & Worldwide. That's how to save the many numerous factories that are closing down, running away & save the jobs of the Chinese People whom are only our fellow Humans & would need for honest work to put food on the table for their loved ones, regardless of who rules the nation...,
