That has not translated into higher prices for consumer goods. As the yuan continues to lose value we will not see those price increases. We haven't, and thats what "American tax payers" ever pay for tariffs.
Tariffs increase import costs. As an importer you can charge that cost to the Chinese. Importers often do and the Chinese can't afford not to.
China is very much paying for these tariffs.

I just gave a real world verifiable case where it does.
Buy your LEDs from Taiwan.
When I build LED lighting fixtures I use mainly American products or products from anti communist sources. I use American produced tantalum capacitors, Taiwanese resistors, photodiodes, and LEDs. I buy American transistors and Korean PCBs. Metals are manufactured in the US and plastic moldings and diffusers are Korean.
China isn't the beginning or end of the market.

What are we supposed to do, capitulate to the commies while they steal from us and sell us dangerous products? Let them continue to spy on us?
Hard to say...
This though doesn't seem to be working...

The point is to bring parties to the table.
China has negative economic data all year long and the decline is a trend, not to mention recent outbreaks that affect their supply from non American resources, such as Pork haven't made things easier.
The only thing keeping china from pursuing is pride, they lost and they need help, so save face, admit defeat, agree to the US issues and get trade back up.

Trump's Tariffs don't even cover the tax breaks.
The deficit this year jumped up 26%. The country can't take much more of this type of "winning."
He is talking about Trade solutions with china, not your US Gov Doom porn.

With this administration's plans add 4.1 trillion in debt plus 1.8 trillion projected budget this year and the 1.8 trillion in tax cuts along with previous increases in spending that the US is headed for insolvency. With just the added 4.1 trillion we were set to set to hit 97% GDP in another 7 years.
We are on track to fail harder than Trump's Taj Mahall.

I am not endorsing the Dems.
Dems are a fast poison the Trump Administration is slightly slower poison. Both lead to death.
Both should be called out shouted down and if necessary destroyed.
You'll have to excuse me while I wipe the tears from my eyes after a good heartful laugh, not at your post, but your ill attempts at minimalizing and marginalizing the US.

I think the pride issue is on both sides.
Showing those foreigners that the US won’t be taken advantage of, that you’re big and strong, that nobody’s going to laugh at you and get away with it. It’s “winning.” Even if you wind up losing.

Home Depot, Lowes, True Value, Walmart, Sam's, Costco, Dollar General and a host of regional and national supermarket chains buy theirs from China. There isn't enough production in Taiwan to meet demand and even if there were enough demand they don't have the MOCVD machinery required to produce that many chips.

That's fine though, it's expected of you to do so, because what else you got? Hmmm?
None of us asked to be born into the situations we are in, but I am entirely greatful of the life I've lived and currently have.
Why? Perhaps it has to do with the fact that the US is an economic engine of the world, that we are the foremost Military SuperPower and sole Global SuperPower, leading the world in political, cultural and scientific forces all across the domains and internationally abroad.
We are finally at a point where we face a "Near Peer Competitor" of our making and thus the topic of this thread, encompassing powerful nations capable of MAD and here you are...minimalizing, marginalizing.
All I can I say is, you're jelly, don't h8.
