Impact of Tariffs on Audio Market

This conversation should be viewed from all sides. 

As already pointed out, cheap price is paramount. It would then seem logical that a more benificial solution is NO tariffs. Other countries could stop imposing tariffs altogether. The global consumer would enjoy lower prices without the additional burden of tariffs.

So, in order to negotiate, let's make a fair and level playing field... if you charge me 25% I will charge YOU 25%.  You charge 0 then I charge you 0.  Sounds fair. By doing this why are we the bad guys?  They put tariffs on our exports first.

BTW...These 'reciprocal tariffs' have been imposed on other countries by China for years but no one seems to complain about that but when we put tariffs that's just horrible.

The list of American businesses hurt by tariffs, tax exemptions, subsidies is not good. How many American cars do you see in Japan? None.  The American furniture industry was wiped out, many jobs lost. These are big indusrties being lost. Too many to list.

This tariff problem should of been handled LONG ago. It has shifted global competitive prices unfairly for decades. 

How do export Tariffs affect business negatively?  It creates unfair competition.

No matter how you try to slice it or dice it this is NOT a fair deal and HAS had a negative affect on U.S. based business. This imbalance is NOT difficult to understand.

Tariffs are only one problem. China has other unethical business practices that go much further. Rebating, Drawbacks, Theft of intillectual property, Price cutting. Most of these are directly related to Tariffs.

These unscupulious trade practices have been allowed for decades and NO ONE has done anything. Potesters want to keep it status quo.

Everyday you get punched by a bully on the playground. One day you punch him back. You are now the bad guy? Other stundents demanding you be sent to the Principals office.  Yes, it's that simple!
