I’m not sure isreal raises to that level - there is other pressure that is lest harmful to us that would work (i think) if we applied it.
Imposing terrifs on israel is a lot less harmful if not harmful at all compared to china
the difference is I don’t think anything else will get china’s attention. I don’t support tarrifs except as a last resort.
China has done plenty of their own genocide and isn’t above doing it inithe future.
China invest in new markets so the best way would be to compete against it in those new market and work on reducing dependences on china
