But this isn't just a tech tantrumit's a full-blown economic gut punch to China. With its old playbookoffshoring and pivoting to new marketsnow blocked, manufacturers are cornered. Beijing's growth target of 5%? Slipping out of reach fast. Some factories in Vietnam are already being shuttered. And domestic demand? Still too soft to pick up the slack. Chinese exporters are now competing on thinner margins in markets that are also taking tariff hitsturning a trade war into a demand crisis.

What comes next? Likely more stimulus from Beijingrate cuts, tax breaks, maybe even deficit spending. But here's the bigger picture: this isn't just about tariffs. It's about a system stretched by years of investment-heavy growth, low household consumption, and nowdeflation. Unless China makes a real pivot toward domestic-led growth, stimulus alone won't be enough. And for investors? Buckle up. The tariff shock is reshaping global tech supply chains and weighing down growth-sensitive names across the board.
