Trump’s China tariffs could put Nike, Tesla at risk. Here’s how.
The potential implementation of higher tariffs against China proposed by the incoming Trump administration has retail companies evaluating their operations in the region. Strategy Risks Founder and CEO Isaac Stone Fish joins Catalysts to analyze the implications for major companies, including Nike (NKE) and Tesla (TSLA). According to Fish, Nike's primary challenge centers on its regional sales performance. While the company maintains a "relatively high" supply chain presence, it faces mounting pressure from local competitors "that are trying to displace Nike" as Chinese officials aim to reduce foreign brands' dominance in its market. Fish emphasizes that "retailers and manufacturers need to make a decision about how much they're going to focus on China," citing weakening consumer demand and ongoing US-China tensions as key factors. Regarding Tesla's position in China, Fish observes that "Tesla's future in China is so tied to Trump's relationship with Musk" and how long that lasts. He highlights additional concerns about Tesla's data collection capabilities in China, noting that "there's a lot of concern that Teslas can drive into [or near] a military installation... and they're [China] a lot more paranoid about that than the Europeans or the Americans are on data protection."
