No, tariffs are only a tax on consumers. However, we should continue to create alliances in the Indo-Pacific to turn the global economy against China.

That's an interesting point. Instead of tariffs, fostering economic alliances can indeed be a more strategic approach. For instance, strengthening ties with ASEAN countries could serve as a counterbalance to China's economic dominance. It could also lead to a more diversified supply chain and reduce dependence on a single country. What specific steps do you think should be taken to strengthen such alliances?
