>China has always had incredibly high tariffs on US goods
Before the trade war, which US goods had tariffs in China and how high were they?

The Chinese, by being labeled a "developing country" in the WTO agreement are allowed to have unequal tariffs on imported goods.
Really, it's not one thing with China, it's a list of problems:
1) Artificially controlled (and low) currency, making Chinese goods cheaper than American goods.
2) Specific tariffs on American goods (cars)
3) Industrial espionage of technology (Huawei)
4) Trademark theft (Apple and other luxury brands have literally fake stores all over China)
5) Intellectual property theft (DVD's, movies, ect..)
6) Geopolitical rivals. They often refuse to cooperate with US led efforts around the world.
7) Domestic Chinese political oppression. China is a police state and getting worse.
I think Americans are finally done with it. Why should we put up with all this? For cheaper cell phones?
What we can get from China, we can get from other countries without all the bullshit.
