Is Amazon in deep shit? I am reading in multiple places that 75% of their products are made in China. When the tariffs come...

No wonder Bezos is kissing Trump's ass. Remember that Amazon doesn't actually produce anything.
Let's make stuff in America again.
That includes popcorn. And I need to go buy some more.
Not totally true. Amazon will prioritize their listing if they hold the inventory.
Their warehouse system does comingle inventory. That's how the fakes make their way into the system. So Seller A can get penalized for Seller B's fakes. Makes it more difficult to track down the source of the counterfeit goods.
The products have gotten so bad that Amazon is becoming temu with faster shipping.
A dirty little secret. But now the Chinese are bypassing Amazon and selling directly to consumers through apps like TEMU and Shein. Customers can get the same Chinese substandard toxic garbage really cheap with little to no shipping charges. It just takes longer to receive an item versus Amazon. This is economic warfare and we will not win this unless we start dealing with them and soon - not to mention that much of the stuff they are shipping to the US is a danger to public health.
Not only that, but I’ve been told by product designers that if someone tries to sell a product there to improve revenues, and they notice it’s selling well, they’ll have it copied and start selling their own instead.
Its not just them, other central markets do this same thing - groceries, walmart/department stores, etc.
Yes. Pretty much everything with the Amazon brand was once a profitable item created by someone else that Amazon then poached, basically putting the original seller out of business. Because bezos doesn't have enough money already.
Correction: because [they] don’t have enough control already
