/edit Oh.. you mean raising our import tariff would mean nothing for their manufacturers. On that I agree with you.
However, their tariffs certainly help Chinese-based manufacturers, which is of course the intention.
Yeah I was about to say something like : Did you actually read the bold?
I meant that the angle to "retaliate" in this instance would do absolutely nothing. Have you ever seen a Chinese car in wherever you live?
I'm in agreement with what you typed pre-edit, it's certainly not beneficial for Chinese customers to pay for more repairs and deaths from preventable accident while foreign cars could just be imported in. But the government has chosen to protect their car manufacturer while they open up cars from competition to figure out how to build cars with good technology.
They've been caught trying to steal secrets all the time as well as preventing eletric cars to be sold in China or not giving subsidies in order to try to strong arm car manufacturers in giving their juicy electric car secrets. I mean I see the reasoning, they've got a pretty big population and more and more car coming in the market. Gas emission is a bitch.
Edit: Volvo has been Chinese owned since 2010, TIL.
