He can impose tariffs but the main point is, who is paying for them?

If the Chinese exporters do not pay the tariffs, then it must be the importers in the US who are paying, and they will in turn pass the cost back to their consumers.

So again, will the Chinese pay? Their margin is already very low, with so much competition. If they pay then they'll have to cut corners somewhere and again it's the consumers who will suffer.
