It's a response to China not fulfilling their promises and not playing fair. IP theft, lack of market access, the benefits they receive of being labeled a third world country, possible currency manipulation, the list goes on. It may be disagreeable to this administration's approach but there is bipartisan and foreign support for addressing China. Personally, I agree and rather see tariffs implemented now rather than continuing the status quo.
