Core Viewpoint - The report from CITIC Securities indicates that U.S. importers are primarily bearing the burden of increased tariffs, with Chinese exporters currently absorbing about 12% of the tariff increment, particularly in the apparel sector [1][3]. Group 1: Tariff Impact on Trade - The transmission of tariffs is a complex issue, with U.S. government tariff revenues surging in recent months. If the threatened tariffs from July materialize, the overall effective tariff rate in the U.S. could rise to approximately 15.8% [2]. - U.S. import prices, excluding food and energy, have not decreased following the implementation of "reciprocal tariffs," indicating that non-U.S. exporters have not lowered their prices, thus U.S. importers are likely absorbing most of the tariff increases [3]. Group 2: Cost Transfer to Consumers - U.S. companies have expressed both the willingness and ability to pass on tariff costs to consumers. Despite previous instances where importers absorbed tariff increases without significantly raising retail prices, the broader scope of current tariffs makes it difficult for companies to maintain profit margins without raising prices [4]. - If U.S. retailers fully absorb the tariff increases, their profit margins could decline by an average of about 1.8%, which is particularly challenging for industries with already thin margins like retail, apparel, and furniture [4]. Group 3: Price Changes in Consumer Goods - The analysis of over 60,000 U.S. import goods suggests that prices of U.S. consumer goods with high import content are beginning to reflect the impact of tariffs. Products with a high "Chinese content" have started to see mild price increases following the implementation of the "fentanyl tariff," while goods from other non-U.S. trading partners have not yet experienced price hikes [5]. - The sustainability of the current low inflation environment in the U.S. post-tariff implementation will depend on whether U.S. companies continue to absorb costs or pass them on to consumers, with potential inflationary pressures expected in the latter half of the year [5].

Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes that in the ever-changing business environment, the fundamental logic remains constant: consumers always seek to buy better products at lower prices. This principle serves as a guiding framework for businesses to adapt and thrive in the market [3][27]. Group 1: Consumer Perspective - Consumers inherently desire to purchase the same products at lower prices, which raises the question of whether producers or consumers dictate market trends. Ultimately, it is the consumers who hold the power in transactions, as their spending choices determine market dynamics [5][6]. - The article highlights examples of successful companies, such as NITORI and Fast Retailing (Uniqlo), which have thrived by aligning their offerings with consumer expectations for quality and affordability, even during economic downturns [6][7]. Group 2: Producer Perspective - To create better and cheaper products, producers must focus on two main strategies: innovation and efficiency. Innovation involves thinking outside conventional frameworks to achieve significant improvements without raising prices [8][9]. - The article illustrates the importance of innovation through examples like Xiaomi, which has successfully provided superior products at the same price point, thereby enhancing consumer perception and loyalty [13][17]. Group 3: Role of Technology - Technology is identified as the primary driving force behind innovation and efficiency. It enables companies to reduce costs and improve product quality, as seen in examples like Midjourney, which operates with minimal staff while generating significant revenue [19][24]. - The article warns that neglecting technological advancements can lead to severe consequences, as demonstrated by the decline of companies like Kodak and Nokia, which failed to adapt to changing technological landscapes [24][25]. Group 4: Continuous Evolution - The article concludes that there are no permanently successful companies; rather, success is tied to the ability to adapt to changing times and consumer expectations. Companies must continuously innovate and improve efficiency to remain competitive [25][26]. - The concept of "survival of the fittest" is reiterated, emphasizing that businesses must keep evolving to meet the ever-changing demands of consumers and the market [27].
