China’s finance ministry responded with 125% tariffs and said they won;t continue this tit for tat tariffs and it would be a joke.

“The U.S. is at a state of development where it has moved beyond manufacturing,” Jayant Menon, a research fellow at ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute, said. “This is what manufacturing countries are trying to aspire to, and this guy is trying to go the other way.” he added. “If you think about producing a laptop in China versus the US,” says Yuan Mei, assistant professor in the School of Economics at Singapore Management University, “in China a lot of parts and components of the laptop are produced within China, so shipping those components within the country is pretty cheap.” Read More
