At the China International Supply Chain Expo 2025 in Beijing, Oliver Oehms, executive director and board member of the German Chamber of Commerce in North China, emphasized that higher tariffs and trade barriers create a no-win scenario for everyone. According to Oehms, in today’s interconnected economy, restrictions hurt major players and send shocks across entire supply chains—from tech startups to everyday consumers. 😊
In our fast-paced digital age, even a small delay can affect access to the latest gadgets, trendy fashion, and innovative services that young professionals and tech-savvy users rely on daily. The impact of trade barriers is felt universally, reminding us that smart economic policies pave the way for a smoother, more connected world.
As discussions heat up on global trade strategies, this insight urges policymakers and industry leaders to prioritize cooperation over isolation. Let’s keep the conversation alive as we navigate a world where every tariff decision could ripple across our digital and lifestyle landscapes.
