In 2017, anticipating the trade barriers of President Donald Trump’s first term, Jasan Group relocated its primary manufacturing base from China’s east coast to Hung Yen province in Vietnam. The move was intended as a permanent workaround, allowing the exporter to continue supplying US retailers like Walmart with towels and socks while avoiding steep tariffs imposed on Chinese goods. Initially, the strategy proved highly profitable as Jasan Group enjoyed significant tariff savings while its peers in China became mired in escalating trade disputes between Beijing and Washington.
