Increasing tariffs on Chinese goods would...........

save and create manufacturing jobs in the UK which means less of tax payers money being spent on benefits etc. and more people paying tax.

It would also mean more people with money to spend so they could afford to purchase UK goods etc...

The UK would also make a lot of money from tariffs on Chinese goods.

It would also mean Chinese manufacturers opening factories in the UK to avoid the tariffs.
