American mask makers are going out of business
There wasn&#x27;t so many mask makers in China before Covid. And after Covid there won&#x27;t be as many either - in fact, they&#x27;re just going to shrug it off and make something else by then.<p>People are talking about Shenzhen electronics all the time. It&#x27;s that impressive because the supply chains are there.<p>Yiwu, the Shenzhen counterpart for everything else is less mentioned: no matter its masks, toys, clothes, furniture, or MAGA hats, or Ukrainian flags (or Donetsk flags, or even RoC flags, they don&#x27;t care), they make EVERYTHING and it&#x27;s the place the world put orders to. It&#x27;s the kitchen sink of the light industry, so that companies stay afloat instead of making masks for life.
