🔍What’s happening in the numbers?

• 📉 China-to-U.S. exports: +10% since 2019

• 🚀 China-to-Canada: +60%

• 🚛 China-to-Mexico: +70%

• 🧭 Vietnam’s electronics imports (from China): +54% YoY

• 📦 Goods arriving in U.S. from Vietnam: many are “re-labeled” Chinese origin

• 🌐 China is now exporting indirectly — not vanishing.

• 🧠 But customs data shows growing transshipment complexity.

And…

🏗️ New factory investment (2024–2025):

• Mexico: +28%

• India: +34%

• Vietnam: +22%

• Turkey: +19%

This is not a PR stunt. It’s a structural shift.
