Biden Administration Ratchets Up Tariffs on Chinese Goods (web.archive.org)

Most important part of these tariffs:

"The trade rule allows packages to be shipped from foreign countries directly to consumers or businesses without paying tariffs, as long as the shipments do not exceed $800 per recipient per day. The new proposal would strip that exemption from a wide array of products and most likely have a significant impact on large importers of Chinese goods such as Shein and Temu, two online marketplaces that have become popular with American shoppers."

This trade rule being taken advantage of by Aliexpress, Temu, and Shein is the sole reason why significant amounts of Americans could still afford to buy a lot of consumer goods despite having their real wages crash year after year. This would genuinely trigger another cost of living crisis

I think this is important to remember. While the American ruling class will show class solidarity when dealing with the working class, they fight amongst themselves frequently and often.
