I'm sure this will be painful for a lot of people and that sucks.

But drop-shipping into the U.S. has been absurdly one-sided for years. Americans have been subsidizing it through taxes and mailing rates our own government negotiated, and that basically fucked over American small businesses for decades.

It’s been dramatically cheaper to ship items from Shenzhen to Anytown, USA than to mail something across town. That killed domestic mail-order growth and flooded us with mountains of plastic Temu junk instead.

It's obvious that it should be more expensive to ship from China to the US than from the US to the US. It no longer makes sense to subsidize these rates and the entire system needs to be rethought.

DHL and UPS are generally not subsidized. Usually it's when USPS is involved.

The American economy is not collapsing because of cheap TEMU crap from China.

So what we are left with is pure ideological pseudo fascist BS that boils down to

"real men work in factories"
