"New York Times" related reports pointed out that although the US government imposed tariffs and other trade restrictions on China, there is almost no sign that the supply chain is returning to the United States. Earlier this year, some US politicians threatened that the epidemic would reduce the US's trade dependence on China, but the actual situation is quite the opposite.

According to the United States Customs Data Compilation by the market research agency Exin Huamai, the trade data for the first 10 months of this year show that the United States imported a large number of consumer electronics products from China, as well as personal protective equipment such as face masks to respond to the epidemic.

Mary Lovely, a senior researcher at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, said that China has achieved rapid economic recovery and has become the main source of US imports during the epidemic. She predicts that total US imports this year will be lower than 2019, but China's share of total US imports may increase. Jay Forman, CEO of

"Simple Fun" toy company, believes that China has proven to be able to respond to the epidemic faster and more effectively than any other country, and that China still has the best production and supply chain in the world.
