What is so laughable is that there is only 1% of Chinese EVs in the U.S. and a few of those are low-cost, small light trucks privately imported for use in small farms. The 100% tariff on Chinese EVs is like trying to impose 100% of taxes on nothing which gives you nothing for a start. The second point is that China doesn't end up paying the tariffs but Americans do. So, the tariff is really a tax on Americans - a form of punishment on any American who dare buy a Chinese EV (or photovoltaic panel).

Who is hurting? Ask the farmers who can't sell produce to China because China's response to tariffs is to buy produce elsewhere; like, Brazil. They also stopped buying American cars, even cars made in China by American factories in China; just ask Tesla, who is asking China for a handout now in Beijing.

Farmers were already not able to compete with Brazil's prices. It has nothing to do with these tariffs. Importing low cost EVs from China made with slave labor would kill the domestic producers and leave the entire future of electric vehicles in China's hands.

The United States (US) has decided to put a 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles, because they are the best at the best price. The tariff only benefits the 3% of US citizens who are employers. The 97% of Americans, however, will be prohibited from buying smarter in order to continue subsidizing the 9 of the 10 richest men in the world who happen to be US citizens. What does that have to do with democracy?Nothing! That is why today only 33% of US citizens are satisfied with our government. Speaking of democracy, China has already eradicated her poverty, despite having 4 times the US’ population. 90% of Chinese are satisfied with their government. Citizens, themselves, ought to know if they have a real democracy or not! If US citizens vote for either Biden or Trump, they will be voting for a plutocracy. And if that happens, democracy will continue to only be lip service. The US is a lip service “democracy”.

Big oil and gas are not going to be able survive solely by the U.S. market. The largest issue being that the type of oil found in the U.S. is not refined here. They would have to retool all the refineries to refine what is. All the refineries are setup for the type of oil that comes from Saudi Arabia. The rest of the world is going to switch very quickly and many places will also switch to nuclear power instead of coal. They will be following China's lead. One of the things I noticed recently when I was in China is that almost every parking lot has electric charging stations for the large number of electric cars that you see operating there. You see them everywhere. I don't think I have ever seen a single one in the U.S. I mean maybe they are hiding them. I know they are here somewhere because I occasionally see a Tesla. There have never been large numbers of gas stations around China, but now they are extremely rare and getting rarer. Not only are cars switching, but China has 350 million two-wheeled vehicles and the vast majority of those inside large cities are already electric. I am American and my wife is Chinese and we go back to China yearly. The amount of change happening in China yearly is absolutely staggering compared to the U.S. The world likes to talk about their housing crisis, but when I was in Changsha, I watched a 28 building (maybe 35 stories each) condo complex being built. They were incredibly nice. If I could I would move there. China has these really awesome residential districts and the one I was in is called YuHua. It's an absolutely amazing place that over the last 30 to 40 years has been rebuilt from the ground up. This particular condo complex was one of many being built and with people already living in most of the buildings. This particular complex caught my eye because of the park and small man made lake. The other reason it caught my attention is that it was being built by the party. I met a few of the people (party members) who were looking after the place and they were the nicest people. The buildings and the overall complex that the party built looks way nicer than anything I have seen in the U.S. in a long time unless you want to pay New York prices for them and even then I doubt you will get a balcony. China is doing incredibly well, but when I have to come back to the U.S., it is quite a depressing thing. But, then to hear the crazy people in our government complain about China when the CPC is actually doing their job is just the most hypocritical, sad, and embarrassing thing.

This is about geopolitics not trade or economics (or better jobs & standard of living for American workers). The Collective West chooses to view China as a "threat" to its global hegemony. Hence, China must be "contained". Part of this "containment" policy is to slow & degrade China's economic development. If successful, this would mean hundreds of millions of Chinese people, whio have been lifted out of poverty over recent decades, being pushed back into poverty. But I doubt it's gonna work. If it was really about industry & jobs, another obvious option would be to partner with Chinese companies, using their technological prowess & expertise in efficient low-cost manufacturing to build up these "green-tech" industries in the US.

A new generation of high density very fast charging batteries are currently being developed. Known as "Black Phosphorus" batteries (you can look this up in "Science" on line), if successful, it can replace the current lithium-ion cells that require long charging times (for safety and longevity reasons). The rather astonishing thing is that Huawei is deeply involved in this research as well and hopes that it will be a boon for EVs as well as mobile phones. One wonders just why the U.S. should be involved in such research to make EVs even more attainable by developing a march ahead of China to capture the battery market in this area and having the Chinese auto makers depend upon the U.S. for advanced high-tech batteries?

The U.S. developed an ulterior sense of inferiority complex, self-doubt and self-defeat when it no longer has the ability as well the capability to compete head-on with China on various fields. First came the blame of China stealing American jobs, then American intellectual properties that led to the trade war. When all else failed, "national security" became the scapegoat to enforce an embargo on all things Chinese. And in a world of irrational nationalism with the promotion of the U.S. government through propaganda and the mainstream media, Americans subconsciously or otherwise began to point the finger at the Chinese nation. Fear is the only reason the U.S. wanted to contain China. When tariffs failed, technology sanctions followed. When both tariffs and sanctions failed, de-coupling became the buzzword. And when de-coupling was found to hurt the U.S. economy more than China's, it was changed to de-risking which in effect means a "slow de-coupling" until a more appropriate time. Twenty years ago, American muscle cars and reliable Japanese cars plus reputable German, French and Swedish cars and even newbies from South Korea were selling like hot cakes in the Chinese market and each and every maker made a fortune in China. Nowadays, however, the U.S. has no hope of selling anything to China -- not only industrial products but also agricultural produce which are easily replaced by many other countries around the globe. Now, America wants to ban Chinese EV's on the ground of the, again, "national security" scapegoat when in fact they fear for the future of all American automakers. Fear has also invaded European minds and the Europeans want to adopt the American low-life tactics. Sooner or later, the world will be divided into 2 camps: one that embraces worldwide integration and the other a closed economy that fears competition. The acceleration of the de-dollarization movement will speed up the divide even further, to the point that it may break the world monetary system in half. With the embargoes of high-tech equipment and the bans of all things Chinese from the U.S. market, it is clear the U.S. has lost all confidence in competing with China's technological advancements. And when the U.S. can only rely on the sole excuse of "national security" risk to try to restrict the rise of all Chinese marvels the likes of social media app, electric vehicles, new energy vehicles, battery technology and battery management software, advanced chip manufacturing, quantum computing, space exploration and AI robotics, etc., it is plain the U.S. has surrendered to China. The decline of the empire will accelerate along with the unstoppable de-dollarization effort mandated by an expanding BRICS. The destruction of the international supply chain by the U.S. forced China and many other countries to develop their own industrial base and the U.S. only has itself to blame for its own demise. Perhaps the coming "collapse of China" can somehow soothe the overwhelming anxiety of the West.

Of course all of these tariffs not only allow American auto companies to be protected from reality, it enables them to produce vehicles that are uncompetitive for the export market as well and Americans will only pay more than they should to buy any vehicle made under protected industry. The end result will be that companies that require cars and trucks for their businesses will be paying more than they should be and these extra costs will affect their competitiveness in the market. This will reduce their sales and service and as a result people will lose jobs. Typical American hypocrisy again and shooting themselves in their feet and their decline will be assured and irreversiable. Meanwhile China and other competitors will be focussing on even more innovation and improvements and the protected USA industries will become just another faded memory..

We Gotta stop with the pity for the poor thing. lt's one thing to feel bad and help out, it's another to virtue signal as if its really matters to you without giving any course of action to help out. Fact is the poor in general, offers the least value to the country. Sympathy can creep in of course for anyone doing less than another, but we live in America, its third world countries out there that come here with less than poverty ridden folks and come out on top. lt's all about mindset and discipline to want to do better for oneself. We've been socially conditioned recently to pity the poor anyone in a present situations that isn't ideal, forgoing the common sense of paying attention to why poor people are poor where as only a significant minority of them have a justifiable reason aside from laziness and taking their youth for granted whether it be due to having bad influences to bad parenting.

Thanks for keeping us updated! I feel sympathy and empathy for our country. low income people are suffering to survive, and appreciate Andrea Sheryl Fox. You've helped my family with your advice. imagine investing $30,000 and receiving $95,460 after 28 days of trading.

I would like to have heard Richard's opinion on what would be a good alternative to tariffs. Should the US govt do nothing and let them compete? What would he do if he were in charge? More subsidies to US companies? Isn't the cost of labor also a huge factor? Isn't that why US companies like Apple manufacture in China?

I really don't understand the tariffs, isn't just gonna be an additional cost the customers (in this case US citizens) have to pay? I mean, sure the EV companies from China might lose some market-share in US because of it, but even Toyota FJ40, or Suzuki Carry aren't popular in US, even though they're so massively popular everywhere else all over the world

If the goal is to protect American jobs and car manufacturers , the real solution is actually quite the opposite of raising tariffs, America should instead let Chinese EVs into US markets and compete with local players. By facing the competitions head on, companies will be forced to innovate and get more competitive in order to stay in the game and survive. If the current US policies is to continue, US car manufacturers will likely suffer a slow death.

I always feel compelled to point out whenever FDR is brought up that he was quoted as saying in private that we have to initiate jobs programs and safety nets and give them something, otherwise there will be a revolution. And I feel compelled because FDR is always lauded as being pro worker and this great president, when in reality is just another example of the relationship of forces

Dear Dr. Wolff, you missed dealership system margins and logistics inland from landing port to dealerships locations in other states. A 20K landed cost plus 100% tariffs plus margins plus logistics would put MSRP closer to 55K

North American LFP battery patents holders made a deal with China so China could make the batteries for use only inside of China without a fee, while keeping everyone outside of China from making LFP batteries with a large licensing fee. This killed LFP battery development outside of China. "LiFePO4+C Licensing AG, a company created by the consortium of University of Montreal, Hydro-Quebec, CNRS, and Johnson Matthey"

It was just like the US tariffs on Aluminum and steel... The US applies tariffs to help local producers have an edge on local pricing... But what did the idiot local producers do ? They increased their prices to match the landed Chinese prices, making them no longer advantageous.. Not only that, it backfired, because local producers didn't have the capacity of supply, and so the Chinese producers did really good business anyways...

With respect, it may be that the CO2 emission savings of EV’s you assume are fictitious. Consider the moving of megatons of earth to acquire needed battery minerals, increased grid electrical generation requirements, composition plastics, steep battery degradation curve (they could be considered disposable) and more than double the tire wear. A clean running diesel truck or hybrid passenger vehicle is a much better option. It’s a complicated issue, not to be solved with puddle deep analysis.

He must be sponsored by a foreign entity. Tariffs are just like VAT. It's the same concept. China has lower costs for labor without OSHA restrictions. If you can make a 25k car for 10-15k, expecting a 10-20k profit per vehicle, VAT or tariffs level the playing field so your 10k car is 20k then your profits are similar to UAW companies. Same with the 1930's. That was the great depression Bubba. Lots of companies were closing their doors so the government went on a hiring spree, rather than giving away money to ppl sitting on the couch. Then we rolled into WW2. This guy leaves out facts that give the bigger picture. I hope ppl research rather than drinking his anti-North American /anti-G7 rhetoric.
