    No, that’s the point. Both the less exspensive and the exspensive products will go up in price because of this. Just look at what happened with washing machines under Trumps first period. They went way up in price and drying machines did also go up in price. This will happen to most products in general if these tolls will be implemented. China will never pay for these tarrifs and the consumers will be the ones that has to.

      China pays in the form of making less sales/exports.

      …and no, prices of Cars can’t be blamed on tariffs on washing machines. Nor can market rules be derived from “what happened under Trump”. COVID global supply shortages also happened under Trump.
