so adding it up: goods averaged non-mfn rate+ vat + other stuff* does actually come to ~67 for math used for the china rate
*anti-dumping duties, etc
Except none of that is true. They wanted a number and came up with an incredibly dumb "formula" to get to that number. Also they wanted a tariff on everyone so they made up an incredibly dumb 10% "exception" to the incredibly dumb "formula". It's not based on any of the things you're trying to make up here.
I think the incredibly dumb theory that they asked Grok to come up with the tariffs makes more sense that all the bullshit you posted in this thread.
