The section 201 solar tariffs apply to crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules made in Mexico as well as in China. And to those made in Malaysia, the Philippines, Japan, Singapore, Germany, South Korea, Canada... every country but the USA. This aspect has been under-reported outside of solar industry outlets. "Countering subsidized exports from China" is often tossed into mainstream news about this issue but the tariffs are curbing imports from everywhere. It seems crazy to me, and reminds me of the crazy steel and aluminum tariffs that have recently been imposed even on US allies.
