Trump just made us 25% less competitive in the worlwide electronics manufacturing industry.
AMERICAN ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURERS REACT TO CHINA TRADE TARIFFS
"Now, manufacturers are feeling the pinch. An email distributed by Moog Music last Friday has asked their supporters to contact their senators and representatives."
"Mere weeks ago, the United States announced it was set to impose a 25% tariff on over 800 categories of Chinese goods. These tariffs include nearly every component that goes into the manufacture of any piece of electronic hardware, from resistors to capacitors, semiconductors to microcontrollers, and even the raw components that are turned into printed circuit boards. These tariffs will increase the cost of materials for electronics, even if those electronics are ultimately manufactured in the United States because suppliers and subcontractors must source their materials from somewhere, and more often than not, that place is China.

A circuit board is 1 component of the entire product so the whole product cost doesn't increase... just pointing out the flaw in your scenario) Plus the fact that China as a whole undercuts US producers by around 40%.. 25% is actually low.. 40% puts them on an even playing field with US producers..
On the otherhand, a person in China gets hit with a tariff on a product from the US that already costs 40++% more to produce than in their own country.
