NY Times Your Home Without China [View all]

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/04/27/world/asia/china-products-us-tariffs-trump.html

I am sorry it's behind a paywall for many. But basically, a great percentage of what we have in our home comes from China. And the things that are now manufactured in other countries, are tariffed too. There is no way Trump's actions don't end badly.

Ever since China cemented itself as the world’s factory floor decades ago, Americans have become increasingly reliant on Chinese-made goods in their everyday lives.

Should President Trump’s extraordinarily high new tariffs on Chinese products remain in effect, the added cost will likely get passed on to companies and ultimately consumers. While the Trump administration has expressed optimism about a deal to cut the tariffs, even lower ones could have far-reaching effects.
