Amid rising U.S. tariffs, Chinese customers are proving their adaptability in global trade, according to Maersk executive Ding Zejuan. Speaking at the 2025 China International Supply Chain Expo, Ding highlighted how demand from the Chinese mainland remains robust despite market turbulence—a real-life 'Oppenheimer' moment for supply chain strategists.
Trade Winds and Supply Chains
Ding, a senior VP at A.P. Moller-Maersk, told CGTN the company is closely analyzing long-term impacts of U.S. policies. 'Chinese businesses aren’t just surviving—they’re innovating,' she said, comparing their agility to viral TikTok trends reshaping industries overnight.
Looking Ahead
While tariffs create short-term hurdles, Maersk’s focus on flexible logistics mirrors China’s push for high-tech supply chains. Think of it as a global game of chess 🏁: every move counts. For young professionals and entrepreneurs, this signals opportunities in green tech and AI-driven trade solutions.
