Hey there, sneaker fans! π Have you ever wondered where your cool shoes come from? Brian Jamieson, the boss of a company called Vigurus Technologies that makes awesome footwear, says that the Chinese mainland is the most advanced place to make shoes! π¨π³
He told CGTN (China Global Television Network) that even if taxes called “tariffs” on shoes coming into the United States get really highβlike over 50%βadding more taxes doesn’t change much. π
Why? Because moving factories isn’t easy. Brian thinks that things in the United States can change quickly right now, so Vigurus Technologies plans to keep making shoes in the Chinese mainland. They aren’t planning to move their factories to the US or any other country. π
Isn’t it interesting how the places where things are made can affect the stuff we buy? Next time you slip on your favorite pair of sneakers, you might be wearing something that was carefully crafted in the Chinese mainland! πβ¨
