President Donald Trump has slapped punishing tariffs on thousands of imports, sparking a tit-for-tat trade dispute with China that has dragged on for more than a year and a half.

From higher prices to stalled investment, the consequences of those policies have become increasingly evident across both of the largest economies. While the Trump administration often insists China pays its tariffs, evidence shows those costs fall onto American businesses and consumers.

As the two sides struggle to defuse tensions, protectionism will soon reach levels not seen since the 1960's. On October 15, the Trump administration plans to raise the tariff rate on on $250 billion worth of Chinese products to 30% from 25%.
