  1. In 2025, the U.S. has significantly ramped up efforts to protect its economy and fight illegal trade, especially with China. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is now tougher than ever, with intensified inspections at U.S. ports to seize counterfeit goods, such as fake electronics and pirated software, particularly from China. There is growing scrutiny over the de minimis exemption, which allows goods under $800 to enter the U.S. without duties or tariffs, as it has been exploited to flood the market with counterfeit products. As part of the crackdown, a number of CBP employees with suspected ties to the Chinese Communist Party or other foreign entities that pose a threat to U.S. economic security have been fired. These removals are part of a broader effort to eliminate corruption within the agency and ensure that U.S. trade and security interests are protected. The U.S. is also focusing heavily on cybersecurity, intellectual property protection, and enforcing stricter policies on Chinese imports, including potential changes to tariffs and trade agreements. The goal is to stop the flow of illegal goods, protect U.S. consumers, and safeguard technological and intellectual assets. These actions mark a decisive shift in U.S. policy, aiming to protect the country from counterfeit goods, foreign influence, and unfair trade practices that threaten national security and economic stability.
