So easy. China's costs go up and they raise prices to maintain their profit levels. Countries without Trump tariffs continue at same prices luring more customers. In some cases, where China is by far the biggest supplier, we pay more for the tariffed products. Nowhere in the equation are American consumers getting anything but higher costs. That is why it is called a tax on Americans.
American corporations moved to China and 3rd world countries long ago. The industrial capacity of the US is in mothballs. They moved there for cheap unprotected labor and no environmental regulation. They moved everything there. including our long term manufacturing processes. They took our patents there too. China does not need industrial hacking to get our methods. We took them there.
