From Reuters:

Chinese producers of plastic Christmas trees and other festive decorations say orders from U.S. clients, which are crucial for their business, should have started to come in by now. But because of surging import tariffs, they haven’t.

[Reuters, April 10, 2025]

I never had a plastic Christmas Tree. But I recall having said something about the fact that they tend to come from China to a friend a few months ago. Should the center-piece of many Christmas living roons be made in a country that persecutes Christians as a matter of state policy?

In cheerier Christmas Tree news, I published many fun Christmas Tree links in Newsletter Leaf Journal 166, which hit inboxes and feed readers on December 23, 2023.

Chinese Christmas Tree Manufacturers’ Tariff Trouble

I learned that new United States tariffs on Chinese imports have caused problems for artificial Chirstmas Tree manufacturers. I ask whether this is a bad thing.
