The provision would tax wind and solar projects if a certain share of their components come from China. It is ambiguously worded, and it would empower the Trump administration to iron out the rule.

That's the only information in the article on what the tax is. In their minds, it's just a tax on China (well, that's the tRumpian view of tariffs, and this is pretty much a tariff).
