Is there a world where 30% Tariffs on Chinese goods going into America is net positive for the world?
Could the Tariff reduce consumption and carbon emissions a little in the USA, while China puts more focus more on selling goods to lower income countries? Could this perhaps result in a tiny boost in growth in low income countries?
Could the improved wellbeing/welfare stemming from growth in low income countries + reduced American consumption offset the harms caused by economic slowdown in America/China?
Probably not—I’m like 75% sure the answer is no, but thought the question might be worth asking...
