Some people do not seem to understand that a 20% tariff on imports from China means a
higher price for the consumer on the items coming from that country i.e. a TV set that costs at Walmart $500 now will cost $600 after the tariffs. In short, it will harm both consumers as well as the the Chinese manufacturers that will experience a lesser volume of sales
