China makes it VERY HARD for US Companies to sell in China.

It’s NOT common for US sellers to succeed at all in Chinese markets. I know thousands of brand owners and I’ve only met ONE who went big in China and it was VERY hard.

But in the US, it’s harder for a US company to sell here than it is for a Chinese company, due to ePacket laws, income taxes, avoiding lawsuits due to having only foreign presence and more.

If this doesn’t change, we may be soon to join Canada which has MORE Chinese sellers selling on Amazon than Canadians, by A LOT. In the US we are slightly leading total sellers on Amazon, but Chinese now are over half of the top 100.

Yes, US sellers could take the market with more work. More creativity, more capital, etc. however we already have less population 1 to 3 to China. 

If we don’t at a minimum level the playing field, our US companies will one day not have the majority leading.

I don’t support a complete ban of TikTok, however I do believe we as Americans, should make it easy to support American companies over other companies.

China DOES do that in their own country.
