Tarrifs on Chinese goods

[curious bystander]

If Trump slaps 60% tarrifs on goods from China, how do we think this will affect the cost that we pay for Corvette parts, many of which appear to be made there?
Bearing in mind we buy them from America.

They will obviously cost us more to buy and import to the UK.

Perhaps US companies will start to manufacture them. They will again obviously cost more to produce but the price difference will be offset due to the import duty into the US.

The Chinese are nothing if not ruthless to even themselves.
If unable to 'sell-in' to their existing USA customer network without punitive tariffs they will do either of two things -
A. sell directly to all takers internationally - or B. simply close down production, sack all employees and move-on to manufacturing alternative products for other markets.
And if option A. Doesn't work like they want.....option B. will will follow shortly after.
