China is still selling to US, they don’t care since they are not the ones paying the tax. In reality what is happening is Trump Threatens 104% “GST” tax (tariffs) increase on American for buying imports from China. China is not paying the tax, americans are.

This tariff thing was just a way for trump to tax americans more while making it look like he is not, most people see tariff on china thinking it is china being attacked. lol. It is actually tax on Americans, the money collected from tariffs is tax paid on goods by Americans.

Yeah the OP commenter on this thread regularly has bad takes from my relatively short time here

No, it is not effectively an embargo. The reason American economic punishments work is because they impose penalties on countries and companies that do trade with embargo/sanction targets, so even though it’s only America attacking these countries Chinese, European and other firms avoid trade due to the threat of secondary penalties. Tariffs only work on American soil, so they have none of these secondary effects and the result will be that China will simply sell their stuff to someone else. To repeat, American embargoes work because they also prevent the target from simply doing business with someone else.
