yeah sure thing shlomo. back in 2001, all the economists were wailing and gnashing their teeth over bush putting tariffs on chinese steel because of dumping. in early 2022 the wsj did a report on it and found that the net cost was . . . six hundred million dollars. oh no, anyway. companies can always move their manufacturing to a non-hostile country like vietnam. china's manufacturing sector is overpriced nowadays anyway. there's no longer a huge surplus of cheap labor there; all the cool kids went to college and expected to make bank as designers and marketers instead of making shitty toys for export.
