SINGAPORE - Former United States secretary of state Hillary Clinton said the US is reviewing the punitive trade tariffs imposed on China by the Trump administration and predicted that some may be removed or lowered.
......
"And I would predict that there will be some changes, but they will not all disappear, because some of them, in this new reality we're living in, may well be continued."

China never bothered about the trade tariffs because the tariff is 90% paid by US importers and only 10% by China's exporters.
Finally US consumers paid for it and US is in deep shyt on inflation when all prices went up. It is punitive on US consumers.

When the tariff is lowered, price may not come down. They will want to maintain margins..
