That’s what happens when governments impose tariffs on one another for no real reason.

Agree... but if this is a response to US tariffs, I’d ask if prices are up across all DJI physical products.

But the tariffs get paid by China .. don't they?

There are over 5000 different product categories subject to the new tariff increases.
Across DJI's product range, different products can be classified and affected differently.

Thanks!

Still cheaper than what we Australian's have to pay.

Yup. Sure. You-betcha! China is paying more for washers (which are affected by tariffs) and dryers because manufacturers are just using tariffs as an excuse. Or was it the other way around. China is also now proposing to bail out farmers with another 15 billions dollars from the US Treasury.

Makes little sense. Only the controller goes up? Fishy if you ask me.

Make America Pay Again!!!

The Trump Tariffs are quite selective. E.g. Apple iPhones are not affected but Apple phone chargers are.

Here is a list of the Trump tariffs: https://ustr.gov/sites/default/file...stigations/May_2019_Proposed_Modification.pdf

Tariff Trump making America Pay Again. Farmers are declaring bankruptcy, all clothing and shoes will cost more. My 401k has lost $22k, hopefully we make it to 2020!

Any of you complaining dont see the bigger picture. The US has not had anywhere near the manufacturing infrastructure it had in the 1950s. We have become a nation of consumers rather than producers. During WWII, the US turned every factory into a weapons production facility. If we ever had to do that again, we would find it infinitely more difficult as the number of factories then compared to now is significantly reduced.

Bloated unions demanding outrageous benefits like the UAW, where even when they are laid off, workers still get 95% of their pay..which does nothing to alleviate financial pressure for the company.

While the tariffs do put pressure on the US consumers, it does open the door to sparking growth and forcing us to consider rebuilding our own, independent economic growth.

You're right, it wont be easy and you specifically may not see the benefit depending on how old you are, but it's a start from decades of an eroded economy.

Bottom line......China has the US by our ***** for OUR Governments failures over the years. They also hold Trillions of dollars of our debt
