Duh, which is exactly why Trump imposed the tariffs in the first place. We are in a much better position to "weather the storm" thanks to our very strong economy and the fact that China imports many more goods into the US than we export to China. If production pipelines are moved from China to other countries(which is already happening) China will be devastated in the long run. China doesn't have the production pipelines in the US to move. The point I was making was that China imposed tariffs in response because that negatively affects our economy. The point being, tariffs do hurt the country who produces goods to which they wish to import. You guys are simpletons and if they taught you that crap in your Econ 101, then you need to apply for tuition reimbursement.
