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.

Or they just wait 20 months. Non-democracies can afford to play the long game.

I considered including that option in my post, but for some reason decided not to do so. You are right, they could just wait until a more pro-globality candidate wins office (in a year or 5 years) like Hillary Clinton, and Biden is certainly in that mold (and also by far the most likely Democratic nominee).
