Part 6/11:
President Trump responded with fierce rhetoric, labeling China's export ban as "extremely hostile" on social media. He vowed to impose an additional 100% tariff, effectively raising existing tariffs to 130%, unless China reversed course. More broadly, the U.S. has an array of punitive measures at its disposal:
Export controls on American technology, chips, and software to China
Anti-dumping and anti-trust sanctions
Reentry regulations targeting Chinese reexports
Intellectual property lawsuits against Chinese tech theft
Visa restrictions on Chinese officials and students, nearly 300,000 of whom study in the U.S.
