125% Tariffs on China: The End of Cheap AliExpress Hauls?
President Trump has shocked online shoppers by raising tariffs on Chinese goods to 125%—just hours after China retaliated with 84% duties on U.S. imports. The move threatens to double or even triple prices on AliExpress, Temu, and SHEIN—and shoppers are rushing to checkout before the hikes hit.
What’s Happening?
- 125% tariffs on China – The highest in U.S. history
- 90-day pause for other countries – Tariffs lowered to 10% for now
- AliExpress panic buying – Users emptying carts before prices explode

Reddit Users React: “Buy Now or Regret Later!”
🔹 “Panic buy everything on my wishlist is my answer right now.”
🔹 “I gambled with small orders from the extreme coin sale section last night.”
🔹 “China will reroute through other countries. It’s not hard to bypass tariffs.”
