they already forced a 100% tariff on chinese imports in brazil

I'm only aware of 30% tariffs on Chinese steel in Brazil, which is same mistake any manufacturing country can make. This was under Biden. They are unpopular, and Brazil still does significant trade with China.

a) we are not a manufacturing country. we mostly sell raw materials to china

b) manufactured chinese imports are taxed 100%, not raw materials. think consumer goods. we have a few exceptions, like EVs
