The point is - those saying american consumers are paying for all of the tariffs are lying. One article I read said the american consumers are paying less than 25% of the tariffs. China is paying the majority, their businesses lowered their prices so they wouldn’t lose volume and market share. That’s why their economy and stock market is taking a hit.
I think that makes sense and it probably should be included in this Forbes article. But in fact the article basically argues that China could and might “win” the trade war.
