China is daring Trump to go ahead and increase the tariffs above the current 145% level
"The successive imposition of excessively high tariffs on China by the US has become nothing more than a numbers game, with no real economic significance," a spokesperson for China's Commerce Ministry said in a statement on Friday.
Will he go for it ?
Resolution Criteria
This market resolves to YES if the United States imposes tariffs on Chinese goods that exceed 150% at any point. It resolves to NO if tariffs on Chinese goods remain at or below 150% until the market's closing date.
To qualify, tariff changes need to go in effect, not merely be annouced.

Clarified Resolution Criteria:
The market resolves to YES only if the United States imposes tariffs on Chinese goods that exceed 150% at any point.
Extra tariff measures on limited categories (e.g., aluminum cans or canned beer) do not count unless they specifically target Chinese goods.
The intent is to focus on tariff actions affecting Chinese goods even though the wording of the criteria could be interpreted more broadly.
