Christmas decoration suppliers should have received their first orders for trees and ornaments by now.
But they haven't.
Chinese producers of plastic Christmas trees and other festive decorations say orders from US clients, which are crucial for their business, have stopped amid a tariff tit-for-tat tariff announcements.
President Donald Trump has raised tariffs on Chinese imports by 104 percent so far this year
US retailers are almost completely reliant on China for Christmas decorations, where they source 87 percent of the holiday's goods — worth roughly $4 billion.
Chinese factories are also heavily dependent on the US market, where they sell half of what they make.
If Americans want new Christmas decorations this year, they will have to pay a lot more for them - if they can find them on the shelves at all.
'So far this year, none of my American customers have placed any orders,' said Qun Ying, who runs an artificial Christmas tree factory in the eastern city of Jinhua.
n Shaoxing, some 160 kilometers (100 miles) away from Jinhua, factory owner Liu Song was confident his business can cope by trying to sell more to Russia, Europe and Southeast Asia, which together take 75 percent of his products already.
'We are worried that US orders will come down,' he said, while adding: 'We will definitely win this trade war.'
Jessica Guo, who also manages a Christmas tree factory in Jinhua, said she was just notified by an important US customer that it is pausing a $408,191 order for which she had already spent $54,000 on materials.
She expects that order will soon be canceled and worries about her business.
'My peers and I rely on US orders to survive,' Guo said. 'This will inevitably affect a lot of people. No one can escape.'

Sucks to be them.
Ya, because Christmas is all about cheap chinese made crap.
What did they expect? People respond to economic events, sometimes in a way that doesn't please you.
Maybe we’ll all start paying attention to “the reason for the season” instead of worrying about stuff. That would be a nice change.
China complains about this even as they are ramping up persecution of Christians in their own country. Why should Christians give them a single dollar, especially for Christmas items?
Oh Christmas balls, oh Christmas balls,
we’re sorry we can’t buy you.

Christmas the way it’s become deserves to die.
The real question:WHY ARE WE BUYING CHRISTMAS DECERATIONS FROM GODLESS COMMUNISTS!!
Made in USA
.
I think This is a Good thang!
Russia buys Christmas trees? Really?
This was all about sucking China dry..next kick out the 300,000 Chinese students who were sent here to “Learn” AKA, SPYING ON AMERICA
China doesn’t have enough reserves to engage in a trade war with us..
They can’t fight sleep and sure as hell can’t fight us
I dont get people’s obsession with buying cheap Chinese garbage. Seriously NOTHING made in China comes good, it all breaks eventually..China is the only country that can send a bioweapon that murders over 20 million people world wide and never has to say “Im sorry”

Plus that will hurt the universities’ funding, not a bad thing.
He hadn't stopped Christmas from coming! It came!
Somehow or other, it came just the same!
And the Grinch, with his grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow, Stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? 'It came without ribbons! It came without tags! It came without packages, boxes or bags!' And he puzzled three hours, till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before!
What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.”
