Here's my take. It will only be temporary, and China cannot win a trade war with the U.S. so they will eventually break and then prices will be lower again and the U.S. will reap the benefits of having done it in the first place by having American made products purchased more because the tarrifs increase the cost of foreign imports and make them less of a steal. We import far more from China than they import from us, so they cannot win this fight. It's just a matter of time.

China can easily win a trade war with the U.S. They have far more buyers for their exports than just the United States. Whereas in the US many of our exports were sent mainly to China and we are having difficulty finding other partners. China is in a much, much more advantageous position to 'win'.
