For many years， sales of garlic in California had been little because of the much cheaper garlic from China． This year， however， California garlic sales are rising because American government increases tariffs（关税）on Chinese products．

Christopher， a garlic grower in California， is manager of his company and he said， "In a perfect world， we would love to see the tariffs on China．"

Tariffs on Chinese garlic rose from 10% to 25% on May 9，2019，and the reason is that U．S President Donald Trump increased tariffs on Chinese products worth of ＄200 billion． Since then， Chinese buyers have almost stopped buying soybeans from the United States and American soybean farmers are now getting worried．

Not everyone likes the garlic tariffs in the U．S． Last July Christopher expressed his support on Trump's policy（政策）． However， officials from McCormick and Company Inc． didn't agree with the policy． McCormick's CEO， Lawrence told Reuters（路透社）that without Chinese garlic America can't go． Actually ，the trade war（贸易战）between China and America is a sign of American hegemony（霸权），and itwill destroy American economy and U．S government will lose its trust from other countries in the world．
