After a process that lasted almost two years, the U.S. Trade Representative's Office (USTR) has completed a review of the impact of U.S. tariffs imposed under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 in response to "China’s Acts, Policies, and Practices Related to Technology Transfer, Intellectual Property, and Innovation." It concluded that the tariffs should stay in place, with some modifications in the form of increased tariffs in certain strategic sectors.
