I-US Chinese Network ibike ukuthi ngoLwesihlanu, i-White House iqede ngokusemthethweni ukukhululwa kwentela "emincane kakhulu" kwezimpahla ezingeniswayo zaseShayina ezibiza ngaphansi kwama-$800, okuphawula isinyathelo esibalulekile kuhulumeni kaTrump kwinqubomgomo yezohwebo. Lokhu kulungiswa kubuyisela umyalelo wokuphatha owasayinwa nguMongameli uTrump ngoFebhuwari kulo nyaka. Ngaleso sikhathi, kwahlehliswa ngenxa yokuntuleka kwezinqubo zokuhlola ezihambisanayo, okwaholela esimweni esixakile lapho izigidi zamaphakheji zazinqwabelene khona endaweni yezimpahla esikhumulweni sezindiza.
Ngokweziqondiso zakamuva ezikhishwe yi-US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), amaphakheji athunyelwa evela ezwenikazi laseShayina naseHong Kong, eShayina, azobe ekhokhiswa intela yesijeziso engu-145%, kanye nentela ekhona. Imikhiqizo embalwa efana namafoni ahlakaniphile ayihlukile. Lezi zimpahla zizophathwa kakhulu yizinkampani zokulethwa okusheshayo njengeFedEx, i-UPS noma i-DHL, ezinezindawo zazo zokuphatha imithwalo.
Izimpahla ezithunyelwe zivela eShayina ngohlelo lweposi futhi ezinenani elingaphansi kwamaRandi angu-800 zizobhekana nezindlela ezahlukene zokuphatha. Njengamanje, kudingeka kukhokhwe intela engu-120% yenani lephakheji, noma kukhokhiswe imali enqunyiwe yamaRandi angu-100 ngephakheji. NgoJuni, le mali enqunyiwe izokhuphukela kumaRandi angu-200.
Okhulumela i-CBP uthe yize le nhlangano “ibhekene nomsebenzi onzima”, isikulungele ukusebenzisa umyalo kamongameli. Izinyathelo ezintsha ngeke zithinte isikhathi sokukhishwa kwezimpahla zabagibeli abavamile njengoba amaphakheji afanele ephathwa ngokwehlukana endaweni yezimpahla yesikhumulo sezindiza.
Lokhu kushintsha kwenqubomgomo kuletha inselelo enkulu kumapulatifomu e-e-commerce awela imingcele, ikakhulukazi abathengisi baseShayina abaku-inthanethi abanjengoShein noTemu abagxila emasu entengo ephansi. Ngaphambilini babethembele kakhulu ekukhululweni "komkhawulo omncane" ukuze bagweme intela, futhi manje bazobhekana nengcindezi ephezulu yentela okokuqala. Ngokusho kokuhlaziywa, uma yonke imithwalo yentela idluliselwa kubathengi, intengo ye-T-shirt ekuqaleni yayibiza u-$10 Meyi ikhuphukela ku-$22, kanti isethi yamasudikesi ayebiza u-$200 Meyi ikhuphukela ku-$300. Icala elinikezwe yiBloomberg libonisa ukuthi ithawula lokuhlanza ikhishi eShein likhuphuke lisuka ku-$1.28 laya ku-$6.10, ukwanda okufika ku-377%.
Kubikwa ukuthi ngenxa yenqubomgomo entsha, iTemu iqedele ukuthuthukiswa kwesistimu yayo yesikhulumi ezinsukwini zamuva nje, futhi isikhombimsebenzisi sokubonisa umkhiqizo sishintshelwe ngokuphelele kwimodi yokubonisa ebaluleke kakhulu yezindawo zokugcina impahla zasendaweni. Njengamanje, yonke imikhiqizo yeposi eqondile evela eShayina imakwe ngokuthi “ayisekho okwesikhashana”.
Okhulumela iTemu uqinisekise ku-CNBC ukuthi njengengxenye yemizamo yenkampani yokuthuthukisa amazinga esevisi, konke ukuthengisa kwayo e-United States manje kuphathwa abathengisi bendawo futhi kuqedwa “ngaphakathi”.
Okhulumela lo mnyango uthe, “UTemu ubelokhu eqasha abathengisi baseMelika ngenkuthalo ukuthi bajoyine le nkundla. Lesi sinyathelo sihlose ukusiza abathengisi bendawo ukuheha amakhasimende amaningi nokuthuthukisa amabhizinisi abo.”
Nakuba ukwenyuka kwentela kungase kungabonakali ngokushesha kudatha esemthethweni yokwehla kwamandla emali, izazi zomnotho zixwayisa ngokuthi imindeni yaseMelika izozwa umthelela ngqo. Isazi sezomnotho sase-UBS uPaul Donovan siveze ukuthi: “Empeleni intela iwuhlobo lwentela yokusebenzisa, ethwalwa abathengi baseMelika hhayi abathumela kwamanye amazwe.”
Lolu shintsho luphinde lubangele izinselele eketangeni lokuphakelwa komhlaba wonke. UKate Muth, umqondisi omkhulu we-International Postal Advisory Group (IMAG), uthe: “Asikakulungeli ngokugcwele ukubhekana nalezi zinguquko, ikakhulukazi ezicini ezifana nokuthi singanquma kanjani ‘imvelaphi eShayina’, lapho kusenemininingwane eminingi okufanele icaciswe.” Abahlinzeki bezokuthutha bakhathazekile ngokuthi ngenxa yamakhono okuhlola alinganiselwe, kuzoba nezingqinamba. Abanye abahlaziyi babikezela ukuthi inani lempahla encane ethunyelwa isuka e-Asia iye e-United States lizokwehla ngamaphesenti angama-75.
Ngokusho kwedatha evela kwi-US Census Bureau, ezinyangeni ezimbalwa zokuqala zika-2024, inani eliphelele lezimpahla ezinenani eliphansi ezingeniswe eShayina lafinyelela ku-5.1 billion zamaRandi aseMelika, okwenza kube yisigaba sesikhombisa ngobukhulu sezimpahla ezingeniswe yi-United States zivela eShayina, sesibili ngemuva kwama-consoles emidlalo yevidiyo futhi siphakeme kancane kunezikrini zekhompyutha.
Kuyafaneleka ukuqaphela ukuthi i-CBP iphinde yalungisa inqubomgomo, ivumela izimpahla ezivela ezwenikazi laseShayina naseHong Kong ezinenani elingaphansi kwamadola aseMelika angu-800, kanye nezimpahla ezivela kwezinye izifunda ezinenani elingaphansi kwamadola aseMelika angu-2,500, ukuthi zilandele izinqubo zokumemezela amasiko ezingakahleleki ngaphandle kwesidingo sokunikeza amakhodi entela kanye nezincazelo zezimpahla ezinemininingwane. Lesi sinyathelo sihlose ukunciphisa ubunzima bokusebenza kwamabhizinisi ezimpahla, kodwa futhi sidale impikiswano. ULori Wallach, umqondisi weRethink Trade, inhlangano ekhuthaza ukukhanselwa kwezinqubomgomo zokukhululwa, uthe: “Ngaphandle kokucubungula nge-elekthronikhi noma amakhodi e-HTS ezimpahla, uhlelo lwamasiko luzoba nobunzima bokuhlola nokubeka phambili izimpahla ezinobungozi obukhulu.”
