Core Viewpoint - Guangdong is actively responding to the impact of U.S. tariffs by exploring new markets and enhancing competitiveness through internal improvements [1][2][3]. Group 1: Market Diversification - Many Guangdong foreign trade enterprises are seeking new markets to mitigate the impact of U.S. tariffs, with some companies abandoning the U.S. market altogether [1][2]. - For instance, a bamboo weaving company has shifted its focus to the European market, which aligns well with the natural attributes of its products [2]. - A furniture company reported that only 4% to 5% of its external sales came from U.S. orders, indicating a strong reliance on domestic sales [2]. Group 2: Internal Competitiveness - Companies are focusing on product quality to enhance market competitiveness, as high-quality products are less likely to be replaced [3]. - The toy industry exemplifies this, with approximately 80% of toys sold in the U.S. being manufactured in China, showcasing a robust supply chain that is difficult to replace [3]. Group 3: Supply Chain Adjustments - Many Guangdong enterprises are exploring overseas production bases and diversifying their supply chains to reduce tariff impacts [3]. - For example, Shenzhen's Zhouming Technology acquired a U.S. LED company to facilitate localized production and distribution, helping to avoid tariff issues [3]. - Some lighting companies are focusing on direct sales to consumers, allowing them to maintain pricing power even amidst tariff challenges [3]. Group 4: Resilience and Adaptation - The current tariff situation is viewed as a continuation of the unstable foreign trade environment that many companies have already adapted to due to previous trade wars [3]. - This adaptability has strengthened the resilience of Guangdong's foreign trade enterprises, positioning them for potential growth despite the challenges posed by tariffs [3].
