100% tariff is essentially an embargo, unless there's something only China can manufacture.

Circuit board manufacturing in the US costs 1000% more than in china. Yes, 10x.

They do make all their money from manufacturing, so America went after that whilst also giving them an excuse/justification for tariffs (and did so in a very loud and showy way while also attacking the rest of the world).

Really engineered a perfect storm for China to return the favour.
