As US orders fade, Chinese salespeople face tough grind in new markets |

China sold more goods to the world than ever in 2025, but export saleswoman Aimee Chen says it was the hardest of her roughly two-decade career. After Trump's tariff hikes led to US orders plunging by a third, Chen's pet products company moved to diversify geographies, chasing new and often lower-income markets like South America. The response mirrored China's official trade policy, which led to a record $1.2 trillion surplus for 2025 despite new trade barriers. Reuters interviews with 14 salespeople working on the frontlines of China's export diversification push, however, reveal the costs and caveats behind the rosy headline trade figures. |
