[spoiler alert]
Tariffs on items imported from China is paid for by the people BUYING the products, not selling them. That means the USA pays the tariffs. Not China.
By that logic, when China charges a U.S. importer a tariff, then China is paying the tariff. So, why do we care if China charges a tariff?
