Canton fair Spring 2025: USA Tariffs & Reactions

Canton fair Spring 2025: USA Tariffs & Reactions

In blog, business, e-commerce, Events, travel, vlog by Michael Michelini


Back in Canton Fair, lost count of how many I had been. But laugh at the photograph that is still on my badge – was taken on a pixelated webcam in 2008 and is still used to this day.

On this trip, I of course met some of my current suppliers, talked business, and discussed how to adapt to the tariffs.

On top of that, with the new vlog camera I have, went around asking friends, experts, and random encounters what they think of the trade war and how they are adjusting to the tariffs.

I also had the pleasure to spend time with Wen (handle: WenCantonGal) a passionate content creator in Guangzhou, and team up for some fun content and collaboration.

Quick side story

Tariff effects: I’m here in China at Canton Fair, on a bus to the fair and sitting in the back where a bunch of mosquitos is eating me for lunch – so I move to the front of the bus and tell the Chinese people about it – they say it’s like “USA style” and all laugh.

Hope you enjoy it – we also will have a Global From Asia podcast where we dive deeper into the interviews.
