A tariff is a tax levied on the import and exports of goods in international trade. The U.S. currently trades over $590 billion in goods with China every year. In 2015 China exported $466 billion worth of goods to the U.S. and imported $123 billion worth of U.S. goods. The 2015 China - U.S. trade imbalance of 344% is a new world record. During the 2016 Presidential race Donald Trump proposed levying a 45% tariff on China and any other U.S. trade partner which violates trade deals through currency manipulation and illegal export subsidies. Proponents of tariffs argue that China breaks trade…

Yes, China should be punished for artificially manipulating its currency, especially if it's considered a Crime against Economics OR a Crime against the Economy, aka Economicide by The International Criminal Court (ICC or ICCt)

No, while we agree to confront China's practices and hold them accountable for their actions, this trade war will negatively impact economic growth, which costs manufacturers and farmers, and increases prices of goods for consumers.
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
No, this would cause a drastic increase in the price of imported products for U.S. consumers
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, this would do far more harm than good to the economies of both countries. Instead, it would be better to provide incentives for companies to move production back to the U.S., while willing to confront China's practices and hold them accountable for their actions.
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
No, this would cause an exorbitant rise in the cost of goods for U.S. consumers
@8Y2TFS52yrs2Y
No, tariffs should be reciprocal to keep the playing field even.
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, this will cause a trade war that hurts the economies of both countries, but we still do need to confront China's practices and hold them accountable for their actions. Instead, it would be better to provide incentives for companies to move production back to the US.

indifferent on this issue
@8XQCD4Q2yrs2Y
Yes, but we need to stimulate our consumer manufacturing to allow us to withstand the decrease in imports.
@86CTKY52yrs2Y
No, and remove all tariffs from all countries, implementing a policy of unilateral free trade.
@8XLR4JX2yrs2Y
No, but china’s abuses should still be addressed
@8XD6BY62yrs2Y
Yes, and only put tariffs on China, not anyone else because I for the most part oppose all tariffs.
@8VC2Q882yrs2Y
No, we have imported a large number of products from China
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, but find other more effective ways to make sure China pays for currency manipulation and that American manufacturing stays in America.
@8WFV28T2yrs2Y
No, and we should never tax any countries imports
@8WQNM5V3yrs3Y
Yes, and give american companies incentive to make products in the U.S.
@8WNZXJ43yrs3Y
I'm unsure on my stance with this issue. I need to learn more.
@8WMF6G23yrs3Y
Yes, on all imported products
@8VC7WDN3yrs3Y
Absolutely. China has been ripping us off for years and will pay dearly for it.
@TyberZannxxxx3yrs3Y
No, tariffs risk causing inflation. Enact an exit tax on outsourcing companies instead.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes. But in this ascending order: Israel, China, AND India.
@8V5PJ3X3yrs3Y
If we can't coexist, then the natural course of action should be to subjugate the Chinese.
@79X493L3yrs3Y
Yes, we (and our allies) should leverage our economic power to become less economically dependent on China. I am normally for free trade, but they are entering a new Cold War with us, so we need to fight back against our main enemy, especially when their regime supports the oppression of hundreds of millions.
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
No, this would cause a dramatic rise in the cost of goods for U.S. consumers

No, China should be sanctioned for their trade conduct but tariffs will only cause an exorbitant increase in the price of goods for U.S. consumers

Yes, but only for products from Xinjiang.
@4NJR28J3yrs3Y
Tread carefully we must when dealing with trade with countries who benefit more from trade than the other. I support tariffs as a way to even it out and increase US production, but should be halted when it reaches a balance.
