“So, I was gonna get some beef for dinner tonight, and I saw this,” she says, holding up a package of beef. “What used to be here is American beef. But now, as you can see, it says *********** beef.”

“And I did look around,” she added. “I couldn’t find one single pack of beef from America. So I guess China just stopped buying beef from America, and it went straight to Australia.”

“The whole idea that China is hurting because of the American tariffs? Well, they’re not, because they are not as dependent on the US. In fact, only 18% of ******** imports come from America. And for stuff like beef and soy, they can just go somewhere else easily.”

also notes that in 2022, “soybeans were the No. 1 U.S. product imported by China,” but that “the U.S. has lost competitive advantage to Brazil.”

“So I guess I’m having *********** beef for dinner tonight instead of American beef,” Emily continued. “And honestly, because of the food quality, I probably trust *********** beef better.”

“And this box of beef right here is 50 RMB, which is about $7 USD.”

“So to answer the question, China ain’t hurting. And if anything, I think we’re probably doing even better because now [we have] better beef that tastes better and at a better price.”
