Flatie,

"So the way it works is the imparted goods usually dumped into the West by china will become more expensive and the stuff made in the US cheaper, simples"

Except it's not that simple, there's a little trick the Chinese use and it's called....... currency manipulation. When Mr Trump introduced his round of tariffs, the Chinese devalued their currency and voila, the expected effect of the tariff on prices vanishes.

You should know that, you right wing commentators usually also wear the economist hat don't you..........?
