Sam, give us the evidence that China is selling below the cost. You can do this in a promotion in a country for a short period of time but you can’t do it for years and years in the whole world. Take for example a toaster, it used to cost an arm and a leg and after we got them from China it cost around $10! Same with clothes even many of the clothes now are not from China. Do you mean that Bangladeshi, Vietnam, India etc are selling below cost also? Please do a detailed cost analysis and provide the details. I always question myself how a toaster can be made that cheap considering all the metals, plastic, rubber, paper, ink etc have to be dug, extracted, produced, transported, processed, made in parts, transported again, assembled, packed, warehoused, more transported, more warehoused etc and then all the overhead and profit from all ends. The world has been selling toasters at this cheap price since China started to make toasters and nobody talks about selling below cost and overcapacity! I am still wondering and asking!?! Can China subsidising the whole world for toasters? For irons? For kettles? For electric appliances? For electronics? For toys? Etc. All businesses have to make a profit and China has to make a profit to stay in business. I am still wondering and asking. So please show me the facts and figures on production costs and not just statistics and deductions. I really want to know. Thank you.

American cars in general are about to get much more expensive. GM, Ford- everyone will jack up prices knowing that the Chinese are locked out. We’ve been through this same thing before numerous times… back in the 1980’s the tariffs were against Japan as Toyota and other carmakers started coming over to the US in a big way.. these tariffs only cause prices to go up up up on ALL cars, not just increase battery prices.

That's illogical Mr. Jinping. The U.S. is 1/3 of the global market. American domestic auto on a more level playing field has a CHANCE to compete.It does not have a reasonable chance against a subsidized product sold below cost until the industry captures a market which results in domestic production disappearance. Knowing something is coming has no relevance even in the abstract, much less in this specific instance. Also irrelevant to the points discussed is the correct assertion that legacy auto is taking the short term profit option of trying to perpetuate ICE sales, a failed strategy as a long-term strategy. American consumers gain infinitely more with good paying jobs manufacturing the best BEVs on Earth, as TESLA does today. Legacy auto merely has to stop perseverating with a lazy and self-indulgent short-term strategy and they can rival Tesla in every respect, merely by more or less copying the organization from top to bottom, absent the eccentric politics of Tesla's CEO. Let's be objective instead of confused with emotion and disillusionment.

The objective of tariffs is not only to protect the national industry, it is also to increase tax collection in a bankrupt and indebted country in a disguised way. The big loser is the American consumer who costs the most for everything.

LiFePo4 280/300Ah cells prices are going up from the low of $32 /cell in bulk.

On the bright side, without US tariffs, solar panels wouldn't be so cheap in Australia and Australia is a sunnier country than America. Dependent on future US production, we may end up with more solar energy deployment in aggregate.

You can't argue the fact that underpriced EVs from China while being better will absolutely decimate the US legacy car manufacturers. However, fault is also at the legacy manufacturers in their R&D with regards to EVs. I think they miscalculated the average American people preference of gas powered cars vs EV without considering the rising living cost (which may push the average American to cheaper cars and cheaper running cost). But still, with all the economic and technological superiority of the US in the world, I find it hard to believe that these legacy manufacturers were beaten by their Chinese counterparts in EV technology. They just didn't study and innovate enough.

I suspect the Chinese manufacturers will set up assembly plants in US as the Japanese, Korean and European manufacturer to avoid tariffs.

I don't think tarrifs are a good idea most of the time, they just make things more expensive, the last thing we should be doing is making the EV transition more expensive. Most people can always adapt and find new jobs and ways of doing things, being able to get batteries and solar as cheaply as possible is a long lasting benefit for all, where as making things more expensive to save some jobs is a very short term way of thinking.

Free trade is supposed to enable the best goods at the least costs become available to people , BUT unless a country is also producing goods and services that the world buys, where will that country or its citizens get the money to buy the supposedly best goods at cheapest costs?

The problem with tariffs is that they reduce competition and innovation. A company protected by tariffs does not have to improve their products because there is little competition.

Chinese practices are unfair if you apply a western model. They are communist, the success of their companies is tied to the success of their government. The whole model is aimed at getting stuff done, being efficient and being successful. A new and improved "whole country' business model if you want to put it that way. Because the way China operates gives them a major advantage over the comparatively inefficient way the west operates, that is unfair. Should they change? No! What they do drives down the cost of producing things like EVs, solar panels, batteries, medicines and more and we should celebrate that. I totally understand Biden's efforts at making American goods more competitive but putting on tariffs is basically arse-about-face. He needs to be subsidising American solar panels and EVs, making them more efficient by building up infrastructure and supply lines instead of trying to hamstring the competition.

What the hardpressed US consumers do not comprehend is that these new tariffs are massively inflationary as they will be paid entirely by US consumers - at the same time as interest rates climb to supposedly curb inflation. Meanwhile, the People's Republic of China's exports to the United States make up only around 3% of its annual GDP, while China's imports make up around 7% of US GDP and account for about 5% of US jobs. For years, US industry leaders have dreamed of being able to export to the ever growing number of Chinese middlel-class consumers, who already outnumber the entire US population, and have already baked these exports into their projections and market-prices. These hopes and dreams are now conclusively ended. The Biden administration has effectively sent the US economy into an endless abyss by applying sweeping tariffs three to four times worse than those they criticized when they were imposed by Trump. What is much worse is that many of these tariffs, which China will not pay, are on intermediate products needed by American manufacturers and service providers. Steel, aluminum, seemiconsuctors, solar cells and so on. This guarantees that US producers will be at a growing disadvantage from which they will never recover. As an own goal, I cannot think of a larger in recent history.

So this is why Tesla started buying at the inventory of lithium batteries. Months ago.

I taught Economics at university level before. For decades, the theory of international trade in economics is premised on the notion of "comparative advantage in different countries due to the diversity of natural resources and socio-economic culture of different nations. But now, this theory is being discarded by the US because the US is no longer able to compete based on this economic principle. It is akin to kicking away the ladder that one climbed on to scale the national economic development, in order to stymie one's competitors from climbing up the ladder which one had used before. So, it is sheer hypocrisy. Shameful!

It won't affect inflation, the tariff list are all industrial intermediate goods. Infact inflation might come down. Think about it, previous a company might import steel from China then build their product in the US using that steel. Now that company is incentivized (or even forced if they have low margins) to layoff their American workers, build their product directly in China using un-tariffed Chinese steel before sending the finished product to the US. In other words they're now faced with a choice between A - losing huge amount of money buying American steel, or B - making huge profit by just moving the whole operation to China. It's gets even better, because so long as a single American company choose option B, they can drive any company that went option A out of business. The tariffs just placed a huge premium on making everything in China. China is truly blessed to have an adversary run by masochists.
