This (targeted deminimis removal for China alone) is a difficult problem to solve reliably and complex. As seen with Nvidia chips or other products with export controls, in this case sellers will find a way to buy from China and route it through other countries to benefit from the exemption. In the end, sales by China may not be dented as much as one may believe it to be.

I understand your point that removing it for all is a blunt instrument and causes different problems and harms. Hopefully some policy adjustments are made with some trade offs.
