That's the whole point. Make it hurt so their government has to comply.


Lol the Chinese government will make out like bandits. "Corrupt" party members will be paid to look the other way as import/export business forge paperwork and wash the point of origin through proxies. The tariff differential between China and proxy countries is basically a corruption bounty.


There's absolutely no chance that China will comply just because some of their population will hurt.

Get ready for 1000% tariffs.


Nah, manufacturing will just move to other countries where it's cheaper.
