Editor's Note: CGTN launches a new series called BizFocus, where anchors and reporters explore the most vibrant business sectors and events in China. Through in-depth interviews with industry experts and on-the-ground coverage, we bring you the latest developments and trends in various business sectors.
In the first episode of CGTN's series, Chinese Factories Know How, we explore Wenzhou, China's renowned shoe capital. Just 11 days after the US and China agreed to a temporary halt on tariffs — on May 23, 2025 — CGTN's reporter Zhu Zhu traveled to this key industrial city in Zhejiang Province. Known for its footwear and electrical manufacturing, Wenzhou offers a glimpse into how private firms are navigating US tariff uncertainty.
