Taobao together with Dhgate appears to be unlikely beneficiaries of the tariffs war. With 145% tariffs on Chinese products coming into the US, big brands aren't going to swallow the tariffs cost & hurts their bottom line. They're cutting decades long Chinese manufacturing partners out leaving these partners facing no buyers for their top quality products. Instead, they went on TikTok to spill the beans on big brands supply chain secrets & profitability spurring this latest trend of buying directly from manufacturers. Taobao is currently Top 3 downloaded app on both iOS & Android phones in the US. Wind is finally shifting. Jack Ma was right to shift group's focus back to Taobao. Best wishes. Cheers 🥂
