Is there a resource where we can check the current state of tariffs between the US and China? Which tariffs are currently in effect? Which tariffs are on their way? Whats their status? etc.

Law firm websites like this are the most reliable source that I’ve found: https://www.strtrade.com/f-tariff-actions-resources.html

IMHO, tariffs is meaningless when it comes to trading with China. China govt should simply stop requiring foreign firms to partner up with local firms and/or placing arbitrary restrictions on imported products. Sure many nations do it, but China is an extreme case.

Edit: I got downvoted but what part of my statement about China incorrect?

That tariffs are meaningless. If they are so meaningless, maybe full-blown sanctions should be applied.

You can set up a Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise in China so no local partners are needed.

It’s what Tesla has done.
