Well well well, the No.1 Chinese export to America by value last year, the smartphone, is quietly granted an exemption from the 125% tariffs

alongside other electronic devices and components that just happen to include semiconductors, solar cells and memory cards.

Is this the Art of the Repeal rather than the Art of the Deal? 😎

How many of these products supposedly of Chinese origin, really are made in the People's Republic of China?

Rather than Taiwan, S. Korea, India, Japan, Vietnam...?

@ArishMell Regardless of where they're made, they're still exported to America by China.

@TirAsleen . Yes, but even if not they are still taxed.

Something I learnt only yesterday is that the US Government is also applying a levy on American port fees for Chinese ships.

@zonavar68 Thankyou. I wonder if that's the same with my computer and printer, labelled DELL and Hewlett-Packard respectively.
