Walmart had already been pressuring certain of its chinese suppliers to cut their prices significantly (reportedly 10% for each round of tariffs levied by the trump administration) a day before the news broke, with some of its chinese suppliers reportedly lowering their prices significantly (reportedly 10% for each round of tariffs levied by the white house).


According to reports, the main message was on weibo, china's largest city, and the main message was that the tariffs were imposed on the price cut and caused a standoff.


The hashtag "walmart is completely replaceable," according to the twitter-like platform, "authorities including the ministry of commerce host regulatory talks with walmart" (##) made it to the hot search list with 16.74 million views.


Although walmart isn't doing well in china, sam's club is still a cash cow for the company, as shown by walmart's impressive 27.7% rise in the chinese market.
