The actual reason for these tariffs, for those who care, is that we dont want to have critical manufacturing dependent on a current rival and potential future adversary. China is trying to destroy our manufacturing capabilities by subsidizing their own industries; its the same as when a large company lowers prices to destroy competition, then raises prices afterwards. Also, wed have less leverage to stop China from doing things like, say, invading Taiwan, if were dependent on them for keeping our infrastructure stable.
