and China is therefore punished in the context of treating US imports to China in an unfair way; this was one of the goals, so you're saying "policy win"?

- DangitBobby 1y agoVery telling that you think "punishing" China is a win for us. We are mostly just fucking ourselves, proving that we can't be trusted as a global trading partner, and driving other countries straight into China's arms.
- JumpCrisscross 1y ago> China is therefore punished If we only tariffed China, yes. They would be. Because while their 37.5¢ mask remains 63% cheaper than the American one, it might be 20% more expensive than one made in Mexico or India or Vietnam. But we didn't do that. We raised the prices for everyone. So those orders are, more likely than not, still going to go to China. There will just be some middle men taking a cut along the way.
