摘　　要：THE U.S.tarifs on US$34 billion of Chinese goods went into effect on July 6.China responded with tariffs of an equal size,largely targeting airplanes,cars,and agricultural products.A ship loaded with U.S.soybeans on July 5 increased its speed heading to the Chinese port of Dalian,hoping to make it before the midnight deadline.It didn’t.And the cost of those soybeans surged by several million dollars.And that’s just the beginning.For American consumers,we can expect a similar price spike on many of their most cherished items.The U.S.has also threatened another US$200 billion of tariffs,which,if levied,would lead China to take more reciprocal and equivalent measures against U.S.goods.The ultimate effects of such mea-sures are difcult to foresee,but they will be dramatic.
