Isn't that the 10% in the article? That's the mechanism by which "China pays the tariffs".

Many carriers recoup the tariff from the shipper if recipient doesn't pay, rendering DAP Incoterm meaningless.

So this 10% might also simply represent de facto theft from foreign business.

X "pays" the tariff by losing US business.
