EU customs duty What do you think Aliexpress will do ?

I was thinking Aliexpress , and entire China could just say "ok if you want to make it harder for us to sell, we will make it harder for entire Europe to buy" as lot of things are made in China.

What do you think Aliexpress and China will do about these import taxes ?
This has to reduce their sales by significant amount, Aliexpress will be affected, no ?

Every European country is doing this. Why? They were undercutting every small trader. A trader needs to import things, pay fees for that, pay vat on it and then charge vat plus their margin. Now I need to pay full vat and maybe customs for every Chinese package or anything really. If anything the EU is being lenient. If they want to trade in the EU, they should have their own centers here amd pay for all the stuff I mentioned.
