Why China dares to retaliate against Trump's tariffs comprehensively: The bulk commodities imported by the United States from China are basically smartphones, computers, game consoles, furniture, toys, and clothing. Imposing a 54% tariff on these goods will soon affect American consumers.
Most of the goods that China imports from the United States are intermediate products in manufacturing, such as liquefied gas, silicon chips, etc., which ordinary consumers have little access to.
China's significant dominant position in U.S. goods imports makes it difficult for American consumers to easily turn to other suppliers. In contrast, the United States is a secondary supplier to China in almost all major product categories except for jet engines and soybeans.
