From the Document: "Concerns over China's policies on intellectual property (IP), technology, and innovation policies led the Trump Administration in August 2017 to launch a Section 301 investigation of those policies. Since then, the United States has implemented three rounds of tariff increases under Section 301 on a total of $250 billion worth of Chinese products (and has threatened tariff increases on an additional $267 billion worth of Chinese goods) while China has increased tariffs on $110 billion worth of U.S. products. On December 1, 2018, the two sides announced some progress in resolving the dispute."
