Analysis of: Policy Perspectives | www.worldtrademag.com

Implications: The article mentions that nearly all toys and 70% of US shoes come from China along with many other goods. 

The US trade policy and imposition of duties on China could damage a long-standing trade relationship and cause global markets to suffer.

Analysis: Every toy in the US, 70% of shoes, and 15% of clothes are manufactured in China.  The Chinese government is outraged at the US duties and retaliation is a possibility.  This "turmoil in US-China trade" could lead to inflation, and have a negative impact on US-China imports and exports. Global markets do not like uncertainty.
