But if the negotiations in China do not go forward, a final list will be put out 30 days or so later, and ultimately, then tariffs would be raised. I think my point is that we all understand. The U.S. Trade Representative's Office and the president, we all understand, that if and when sanctions are levied and imposed, the United States wins but also loses because it is very, very predictable that the other side, no matter what country,that the other side will then levy sanctions of its own against American exports going into China. And when the sanctions come back to roost here, then,of course, other sectors of the American economy will take a hit as well. It's not, it's not a pleasant prospect I think for anybody in this entire dispute.
Sanctions are a tough call.
And this would be a unilateral sanction. This would be unilateral, although this is a sector of the American economy where the Americans really do distinguish themselves. In many sectors of economic life, the fact that the united States refuses to sell a certain product to China, for example, would simply mean that the Chinese went and bought it from the Japanese or the Germans or the Dutch, the British, or somebody else. We're a long way from the end of this process. But I would like to note that every day that we wait U.S. intellectual property owners continue to lose in China.
