This is insane. The ppl it is going to hurt the most are the tinkerers and innovators. As long as you assemble your completed phone / tv in China it doesn't matter. But for hackers trying to build cool stuff or develop ideas into products, they have to pay 125% more...

Your cost of business does not include any labor, payments for property, taxes, etc?
