Even if they impose 100% tariff penalties on all those DACs etc, often the price will remain very low compared to alternatives.
From a macro-economic point of view, it's simply something that *must* be done, penalizing "countries" that take utter unfair advantage of a more open global economy and basically fund economic warfare with government cash and debt. The goal is clear, and I think we have to collectively look beyond cheap audio. I have seen some great posts that look back at the history of trade deficits, past sanctions and how they sometimes backfired. But the China situation is unprecedented. When Germany cars started to grow in the USA, they were *not* undercutting US cars in price to gain increasing control of the US economy. It was not about a hostile plan. China has been doing it at an unprecedented and blatantly evident way... and it was all our own fault, because we funded their economy for many years to gain access to their consumers... our own greed funded this, and our complacency has prevented us from addressing it.
I am perfectly aware that the Zeitgeist has shifted away from any self-sacrifice to ensure the common good, but I think it's like 20 years overdue. We can't complain about jobs moving out of the USA while we buy their stuff because it's cheaper.
