Does anyone know what specific products from China will be hit with this increase?

I am having trouble finding out what exactly will be affected.

“Does anyone know what specific products from China will be hit with this increase?”

Cellphones ($45 billion) and laptops ($39 billion) are the big billpayers; and also PC monitors, networking gear, toys, gaming consoles, meat, fish, and other items.

China only imports about $100 billion in US products, and has already raised tariffs on basically all of it already, in the earlier rounds. Some of those US imports are components that go into Chinese exports, so they would be shooting themselves in the foot by raising tariffs on them. They are basically out of ammo to return fire in kind.
