And by Chinese electronics, they mean iPhones and mostly non-Chinese smartphones. These can obviously be rerouted to other countries. Slap on the 25% tariffs, and they will be.
Of note: We import more in Chinese electronics than they import from us of ALL goods.
And any analysis that says this will raise prices for US consumers erroneously assumes we'll keep buying their cheap sh!t when it costs more than US goods. Or goods available from anywhere else in the world.
We won't.

I refuse to buy Chinese products. The quality of their products is worse than Japanese or Korean products ever were. Plus they have repeatedly put virus into digital equipment like thumb drives. They also put monitoring programs in phones.
Half of those are redundant. Why should both countries import and export computers?
Good to see we personally don’t buy much of China’s imports. Not in the market for computers (knock on wood this on holds out longer) or electronics. Haven’t bought any clothes since 2009 and make my own with thrift store fabric. The last leather good I purchased was a purse from the church’s yard sell a few years ago. Constantly repairing the cheapo Rooms R Us living room set (never again). Sure, imports may in used in the utilities and services we use.
Chicom imports bump for later....
