Perhaps China is just being polite, putting a few tariffs on. If they just shrugged at Big D charging his electorate lots of taxes, it might embarrass Big D. I'm more rude. When Clinton banned NZ steel imports about 20 years ago; it just meant China got good cheap steel instead of USA. If Americans want to pay more money to their government for Made in China it just means the megatons of things will go to the next highest bidder. It's the Americans who miss out. It is inconvenient to find the next buyer but not as inconvenient as doing without the things. The consumer surplus matters too. In a transaction the buyer mostly benefits as sellers compete away margins. There is also the bureaucratic cost of collecting the taxes. Mqurice
