My local dollar store....everything is still one dollar. I buy little computer items under five dollars on eBay direct from China. Like a USB 4 port splitter. No price rise yet that see.

Be patient...When the sunglasses factories move back to the U.S. the prices will be reasonable...

Mea culpa. Bloomberg has this weird feature where, as you read to the bottom of the story, the link changes to the next one.

To respond to the sluggish demand, Great Wall Motor Co., China’s biggest SUV maker, said this month it will cut prices of the Harval SUVs by as much as 27 percent through October...

This tells me 2 things. 1, GWMC is state run and dumping cars below cost on the Chinese market and 2, they screwed Chinese who bought these vehicles in the past by slashing the value of the vehicle they purchased at the higher price. This sort of thing doesn’t end well.
