China Morning Missive
This is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg and it was probably a given that #China would first retaliate with agriculture tariffs.
Where China can cause real pain, as just one example, is with a prohibition of medicinal exports to the United States including antibiotics. China has a stranglehold over the global supply chain not just for antibiotics, but for their active pharmaceutical ingredients. Think back on the mayhem caused in 2020 when supplies of personal protective equipment (PPE) dried up. That was China.
Again, this is just one small, albeit important, example.
The pain that China can inflict on America isn’t from putting tariffs on imports. The pain will come if, or perhaps when, China decides to put prohibitions on exports to America. Think rare earth minerals.
