1. Those countries hit with high tariffs SOLELY on solar panels alone, NOT other products, are Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand & Malaysia.
It is only common knowledge that China had made used of such countries to manufacture or assemble solar panels based upon STOLEN or freely given by greedy Western Tech bosses to gain profits from slave labor, which are Tech from USA & Japan, funded for decades by Western taxpayers thru education....
2. It's a free market after all, & China seized such opportunities until the West realized the harm done to their own nations over job creations & economy, thanks to PrezTrump.
3. Worse still - China is only FOCUSSED on keeping its own 9-9-6 work culture citizens employed. They spend NO funds on research & development of such tech. As Western companies saw how the vast slave labor can easily churn out products, they abandoned such tech, & the loss lays for Humankind. There is SO MUCH tech to be developed yet, such as even beyond FOLDABLE solar panels that was discovered in EU, which will cut costs on material usuage....
4. With such high tariffs, it OPENS opportunities for other Nations in our shared World, to further develop solar energy than to be held hostage by fossil fuels. What EU & Japan years back on conservation of such energy had discovered, so too can other nations.
5. While it was mostly the American Association of Exporters & Importers (AAEI) that managed to convince PrezTrump to imposed such high tariffs in order to save American jobs & economy, as Americans too need to eat, such tariffs were limited to only 4 well known nations misused by China for dumping goods onto the World.
Americans are well known to be innovative in their free & responsible Rule of Law Nation, but so too others whom lived in democratic nations with democratic institutions to protect all, to be innovative as well, to bring the best to Humanity.
PrezTrump had only just made the progressive & evolutionary level playing field for ALL....

Trump’s shifting tariff percentages are part of a deliberate negotiation tactic and reflect the complex, evolving nature of U.S.–China trade tensions.
A hallmark of Trump's negotiation tactics is the strategy of "starting high, applying pressure, backing off slightly, and then claiming a victory." He frequently adopts extreme positions (such as imposing 125% tariffs) to:
Create space for potential compromise
Disorient opponents and maintain a strategic advantage
Garner support from specific industries
