Chinese consumers are avoiding American products to show their support for their country in the tariff war with the US, according to a survey released by Brunswick Group.
Though more than three-quarters (77 percent) of Chinese say they often buy American goods, 56 percent of them have boycotted a US-made product because of the trade battle, which deals a blow to the bottom line of American manufacturers.
Nearly seven-in-ten (68 percent) of the 1,000 Chinese consumers polled by Brunswick say their opinion of American companies has gotten worse due to the trade dispute.
