Trump spends the least per vote. Funny how that works when you are spending your own money instead of others.

Curious about this:
Does China have tariffs on American goods sold in China?
The answer is yes.

Does China manipulate its currency? Yes, China does.

Thinking out of the box, if the US had a smart encompassing bilateral trade agreement with China and you had a half way decent negotiator, the agreement would include some kind of complex formula that would measure the change in value of the Yuan vs the US dollar and then multiply that delta change to the price of goods entering the US. Simply put, if China decreases the value of its Yuan then the price of Chinese products sold in the US would go up.

Also, you could apply that to the Chinese increasing/decreasing their tariffs on US goods sold in China. The estimated change in the increased/decreased tariffs applied to US goods sold in China would be automatically be applied to goods sold in the US. I would not define this as a tariff war. The changes would automatically occur as China changed its tariff positions.
