      Because context matters. In the same vein, the hidden and thereby illegal state subsidies Chinese electric car makers are receiving should also be mentioned. Biden’s tariffs aren’t happening in a vacuum.

              It’s not relative. The moment a Chinese good is being sold outside of China, it has to follow local laws, which includes laws against market manipulation. Chinese manufacturers and sellers have been ignoring them for a long time, but there is finally some pushback.
