PREVIEW — Chris Riegel — US Tariffs Devastate Chinese Manufacturing and Economic Stability. Riegel reports that American tariff policies have severely damaged Chinese manufacturing sectors, catalyzing emergence of dark factories with minimal human employment and declining utilization rates. Riegel documents that China's attempted export pivot toward Russia cannot compensate for lost Western markets, leaving China's economy unstable beneath catastrophic debt burden functioning as structural sword of Damocles. Riegel emphasizes that China's debt-constrained economic model prevents stimulus and infrastructure spending necessary to absorb factory closures and employment displacement from American trade restrictions.
