From a competitive strategy perspective, the best time to hit an opponent is when they've just invested a lot of capital in production. The relative price difference due to tariffs will decrease consumption of Chinese goods, and will result in idle factories that won't be able to pay for themselves.

Of course, the CCP will try to find/take funds from elsewhere to "staunch the bleeding", but they may not have sufficient wherewithal. On top of that, employees who are not working and not getting paid turn into protesters. The civil unrest in China that could result from tariffs may be more painful than the economic impact.
