This sentiment, branded differently but functionally the same, is punished in the US currently, because the hordes are upset their Shein costs more in the short term.
We've entered a new era where every nation is walling up its industries (tariffs and fines), its demographics (via immigration), and it's culture (internet and social media control).
A customs duty and a tariff are functionally the same, raising the cost of foreign goods to protect local industries.
At the volumes AliExpress/Temu/Shein ship I'm very surprised it isn't already cheaper to do so rather than try to air freight everything (air freight can easily cost $4/kg, Which is part of the reason all the items are very lightweight)
