An American businessman wasted no time boarding a flight to visit Chinese partners the moment news broke of reciprocal tariff reductions between China and the U.S., seizing on the opportunity to negotiate new purchases.

Mike, a longtime buyer of Chinese auto parts, headed straight to his partner factory in Foshan, Guangdong Province, a decade-long supplier relationship that had weathered recent trade tensions. 

At the automotive lighting factory, Mike pushed to accelerate existing orders while negotiating new deals for advanced products like intelligent anti-glare headlights. The prototype's pedestrian-detection function and adaptive brightness controls particularly impressed him, though mass production hasn't yet begun.

"They have made a lot of improvements. They have a good manufacturing system. It's all tracked, it's well done," he said after a tour to the production line.

Following a high-level meeting between the world's two largest economies on trade affairs in Geneva, China and the U.S. announced in a joint statement on Monday a series of measures, tariff modification measures, aimed at easing trade tensions, which took effect on Wednesday. 

"We would love to see it (China-U.S. tariff issue) get resolved and then we can move forward with business. So if it's cooperating to make better a product, to make it serve the customer with more features that either make things more safe or more efficient, that's what we are supposed to do," Mike said.
