That's the whole point. Make it hurt so their government has to comply.

  Lol the Chinese government will make out like bandits. "Corrupt" party members will be paid to look the other way as import/export business forge paperwork and wash the point of origin through proxies. The tariff differential between China and proxy countries is basically a corruption bounty.

  There's absolutely no chance that China will comply just because some of their population will hurt. They even nailed shut the doors during Covid to prevent people from going out.

    Then the tariffs stay in place. The secondary goal of moving manufacturing to the us will be met if China refuses to comply. Get ready for 1000% tariffs.

      Nah, manufacturing will just move to other countries where it's cheaper.
