That is if those chemicals are not on China's no-go list.Gee I wonder what kinds of competitive opportunities are possible with a 104% tariff on chemicals coming out of China into the US market.
China have slowly aimed to become the major supplier of all sort of materials, including Lithium, and now exercises that power as a weapon at will.
Another thing to consider...
While China has made significant economic strides and is now the world's second-largest economy, it is still considered a developing country by many international organizations, including the UN and the World Bank.
China should lose the classification being a developing country, which is outright bullshit, as soon as possible, like yesterday.
It outgrew the developing country status more than 20 years ago.
With that status come many advantages and countries without that status simply have to deal with China with one arm tied behind their back.
Just consider the power games China plays and the build up of its army, navy and airforce.
A developing country does not have the resources to do that.
