As I mentioned in my earlier comment. I feel the difficulty lies in understanding the extent of global supply chains and its impact.

With successive globalization more and more nations got interconnected with multiple layers of mutual import/export of raw material, parts or finished goods and services. If its made in USA or China does not mean it's completely made in USA or China, the components or raw material for it might come from multiple nations. This trade tariffs and war is taking us to old century where we had closed borders and middle man charge a premium to get products and services in and out.

Eventually it will be a loss for everyone not just for any specific nation.
