In late 2023, Kent Liu finally decided to take a leap of faith: it was time to move his customised printing business from China to the United States.
Liu felt he needed to make a change. For years, his company had made money by printing T-shirts, hats and other apparel in China for a range of clients, which were then shipped to the United States.
But that model was increasingly under threat. In 2018, America raised tariffs on Chinese goods, and tensions between the two powers had continued to rise over the following five years.
“If I don’t go,” Liu recalled thinking at the time, “I might fall behind the times.”
Liu’s instinct proved to be correct. Just a year after he founded his new business, Digiprint America, US President Donald Trump returned to office and launched a fresh tariff blitz targeting China and a host of other major export hubs.
The new production lines in California and New Jersey were insulated from the crippling new import duties, helping Liu’s business ride out the trade war. His orders remain strong and he is even planning to open an extra facility in Atlanta.
Many other Chinese print-on-demand businesses are now racing to localise production in America, as Trump’s tariff war drives a major reconfiguration of the global e-commerce supply chain.
Chinese printing businesses appear to be confident about their prospects in America. Despite the US’ recent economic slowdown, the S&P Global US Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index rose to 53.3 in August – its highest level since May 2022 – signalling renewed growth in the American manufacturing sector.

GMTA!...................
No me want.
Along with the fake drivers licenses, birth certs, s.s. cards , currency
No worries at getting the stuff through customs either, and that alone will save them boku $ in saved bribes and kickbacks .
“I might fall behind the times.”
He should set up print shops in multiple countries. Printing will be one of the first industries to become fully automated. It doesn’t matter if Trump puts tariffs on him or not, he has to set up shop elsewhere.
A designer in one country will simply sell his or her designs on the internet and a t-shirt could be printed on the other side of the planet, no need for waiting or shipping.

When it comes time to hang the capitalists, they will vie with each other for the rope contract. - attributed to Lenin .
And fake silver coins. There are so much out there now, you really got to look out.
Facebook is the worst. I see ads all the time for 1 oz silver coins for $17.99 when silver is $39.00 an ounce. Obviously fake. All the coin dealers say they get brought fakes every single day and most come from China.
If you are buying gold or silver and the seller is from China, it is 100% fake.
Wonder if/when fabrics mfg will return to US?
Within 28 seconds of each other. Impressive.
and they bring all their Chinese workers with them ?
Most Bibles are printed in China. I wonder if they are considering moving to USA. If not, Bibles could get more expensive.
On eBay, I set my settings to exclude China & typically I buy from legitimate sources like Pinehurst. They’re shipping on eBay is typically included & cheaper then buying off their website.
Since he in a foreign national and this move is to avoid paying a tariff, how about having the tariff applied to his USA made products at least until he becomes a naturalized citizen ...
Well, the printing of fake ballots will be cheaper and quicker now.................
