That's your choice - a tariff is imposed on everyone.
And what's to stop the Chinese from imposing tariffs of their own?
Protectionism's a two-way street, but with dead ends at both ends.

I'd be happy to trade with them just like any other country -- when they behave like any other country and stop trying to attakc us militarily and economically.

You're kidding, right? The trade imbalance is so hugh (heh), they would never dare upset it in our favor.

And what's to stop the Chinese from imposing tariffs of their own? How would they add tariffs to already pirated american imports? That's what they've been warned against--they can find an internet user who googles "democracy" but not whole bootleg/knockoff factories.
