Widespread Unrest Hits China Over US Tariff Layoffs, UNPAID WAGES, Incoming Shortages For US
Widespread unrest has erupted across China as President Donald Trump's steep tariffs devastate the nation's export-driven economy, triggering factory closures, unpaid wages, and massive protests by workers, The Daily Caller reported.
Riots and mass protests are spreading across China as economic fallout from Trump's tariffs pushes the nation's manufacturing sector to the brink, shuttering factories and leaving millions of workers without pay. From industrial zones near Shanghai to the remote edges of Inner Mongolia, workers have taken to the streets demanding back pay and denouncing mass layoffs. The unrest comes amid a sharp drop in Chinese export orders.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Huang Deming, a garment exporter in southern China, has already laid off 30% of his staff after losing three U.S. clients. Qian Xichao, a textile factory manager, described cutthroat conditions in the domestic market. "To be frank, personally speaking, all we can do is go out and look for new opportunities," Qian told the Journal.
The labor unrest mirrors the protests in 2022 during President Xi Jinping's strict COVID-19 lockdowns. At the time, government forces suppressed demonstrations through violent crackdowns. Analysts expect similar responses now as economic instability threatens the regime's control.

Here in the United States, the port of Seattle found itself pretty much EMPTY of inbound ocean container ships on Monday. Three vessels were in the port and almost finished unloading, with zero vessels from China reported inbound and zero ships outside the port waiting to get in.
Elsewhere, the Port of Los Angeles says shipping volume will plummet 35% next week as China tariffs start to bite. After Los Angeles, similar plummeting is expected at the port of Houston, two weeks from now, and similar plummeting is expected at the port of New York City, three weeks from now. As containers stop arriving from China, Americans will begin to see product outages on store shelves.
