Chinese shopping app Taobao has jumped into the Top 5 of the U.S. App Store, coinciding with a significant rise in consumer interest following President Trump's tariffs on imports from China. Downloads of Taobao increased by 514% in April, reaching approximately 185,000, as U.S. consumers look for alternatives to pricier platforms like Shein. TikTok videos highlighting direct purchases from Chinese manufacturers have fueled this trend. Taobao's climb from No. 49 to No. 2 in the shopping category reflects changing shopping habits, despite ongoing concerns about quality. Users are advised to review sellers before buying.
