Be Careful What You Ask For!

If you're at all inspired by the politically-popular (in some circles) notion that China's economic pain (say, when -- due to U.S. tariffs -- producers en masse move their manufacturing facilities elsewhere), somehow equates to U.S. industry's gain, consider the following:

"This weekend saw the biggest sales day of the year take place in China, of which over 18,000 of the brands taking part were international, from over 74 countries according to Alibaba."
