When the United States and the Chinese mainland announced a 90-day pause on most recent tariffs, factories from Shenzhen to Shanghai sprang back to life. Exporters in the Chinese mainland are now racing to ramp up production and get goods on the water before the window closes.
In Shenzhen, trader Ms. Nie faces pressure from her U.S. partner to ship urgent orders—some delayed months by earlier tariff hikes. With sea shipments taking about 45 days, her 80,000 yuan (roughly $11,100) order is now back on track, alongside new contracts worth over 800,000 yuan and more than one million yuan.
Nie reports buyers from Europe and South America have also joined the rush, all aiming to secure products before the July peak season. "We’re working around the clock to meet demand," she says.
Data signals a broader rebound in foreign trade: a surge in purchase inquiries, a spike in factory output, and renewed confidence among logistics providers. For young global citizens tracking supply-chain shifts or entrepreneurs scouting market opportunities, the coming weeks will reveal whether this tariff truce can sustain momentum or simply spark a temporary flash of activity.
