	Almost impossible. Profit margins are  very small, and usually
come from the number of items sold. Massive numbers = reasonable
profit.
	I very much doubt the Chinese will pay the taxes. They might
INCREASE prices to compensate for less items sold. But the US is not a
big market if you look at the Global scene, so the increase will be
slight.

	PS The American consumer will pay 100% of Trump's taxes. I
mean tariffs. Aff ... same thing.
