As China floods the world with affordable solar panels and wind turbines, the decaying American empire clings to its oil-soaked throne like King Canute, commanding the tides of progress to recede.
This is a literal battle of light against darkness, where the forces of progress clash with the death-rattles of doomed capitalism. Every kilowatt China exports strikes a blow for humanity while every US tariff reveals their allegiance to planetary destruction.
I guess I'm stupid but I don't understand the point of tarrifs over 100%.. or any in this case.
Tariffs just add cost on top of the product, but if a product from China is twice as cheap as the one produced in US then even a 100% tariff would mean Chinese product is still cheaper. Also, in some cases the cost is not the deciding factor. This was a good summary from somebody in the industry https://peertube.mesnumeriques.fr/w/4ukCr36qciYWFVGpCVPsQM
This is ridiculous.
