The Chinese do not import enough from the US to have any sort of equivalent impact with a tariff response. I can't help thinking this is all a stunt to boost Trumps Republican poll numbers ahead of the 6th of November mid-term elections. Since most of the Chinese manufactured goods no longer have US made alternatives, the US consumers will pick up the cost of the tariff when they buy their Tv's, dishwashers, etc. and this effectively becomes a consumption tax on US buyers.
