As the U.S. trade war escalates, the Chinese e-commerce app DHgate has surged to become the No. 3 free iPhone app in the U.S. App Store. This spike follows TikTok videos revealing that many luxury goods perceived as European are actually manufactured in China. DHgate saw a 56% increase in downloads, with 117,500 installs on Sunday alone, marking a staggering 732% rise from its 30-day average. Users are increasingly drawn to the app for direct access to Chinese suppliers. The trend underscores America's dependence on Chinese manufacturing despite ongoing tariffs.
