AI Summary
Summarized by AI from the source belowChinese exporters have shifted focus from U.S. tariffs to the impact of the Iran war, which has disrupted shipping lanes and increased freight times to around 50 days instead of 30-40 days. The conflict has led to a historic energy shock and concerns over global demand for Chinese goods.

Many now prioritize the duration of the Iran war over tariff-related issues ahead of the upcoming summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and China's Xi Jinping.
