True...you don't have to buy which is an interesting view for a Right Winger. Put on a tariff and destroy an industry.   And,  as sales disappear because of the higher prices it can destroy an entire market. What will happen to farmers if Chna retaliates with tariffs on farm exports? Tariffs are bad in this global age and Trump is leading us to a downturn before the 2020 election.

Suggesting that competition will can be a saving grace is  obvious except I would argue a 25% tariff is too much of a hurdle. 5 to 10% maybe....
