This is in retaliation for the billions that China collects from American based importers. China, not its Chinese based exporters, receives those tariffs. It also receives billions into its economy from the exports it sends to the U.S. By Charging tariffs on those goods it sells into the U.S., it drains billions from the Chinese economy and pays billions into the American economy," he just says, instead, "China is paying billions in tariffs."

So why was the economy booming if were getting so ripped off before this Tariff game ???
