US-China Trade Highlights: US imposes 104% tariffs on Chinese goods effective immediately; additional tariffs to be collected starting April 9: White House
Yeah, I was trying to think of stuff that you couldn’t really get anywhere else. Electronics is a very broad category and there’s stuff you can get from elsewhere and there’s also a bunch of important stuff you can’t get from China (you have to buy it from Taiwan instead). And you can get board games from Germany / Poland so maybe that one was dumb.
Anyway, my point was that while China makes the best batteries, hands down, you can get the rest of the car from other places. Like Mexico, Germany or Japan. Actually China makes some very good electric engines for cars as well. But I don’t think they are selling those without the rest of the car.
Now cars too but I don’t think we can get them
