HONG KONG -- China's robust export engine is expected to pump out a new record this year, driven partly by a wave of American clients rushing to hoard Chinese goods under the threat of higher tariffs from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.
Wu Zhiqiang, CEO of Shenzhen Lingke Technology, a lighting products manufacturer that uses a sprawling network of factories in regions from Thailand to China's Pearl River Delta, told Nikkei Asia that many U.S. companies "want to create some buffer against future uncertainties."
