Topic: "Made, Sold, and Promoted by China"
First, retailers outsourced manufacturing to China and put “Made in China” labels on products. Then, Chinese sellers sold directly through the Amazon marketplace. Now, Chinese companies are running vertically integrated retailers like Shein, Temu, and AliExpress. This talk looks at the evolution of trade, its impact on everyone else, and how local retailers are adapting.
