Seems completely obvious that everybody who buys goods made in China will see it on those and related products.

Also, when you say "gouge", I think you're referring to normal capitalist profit-maximization. That's not to say it's good or bad, just to say that it is typically inescapable. If you were a CEO competing against China today, and all of a sudden your competitors' prices increased by 25%, would you really hold your current prices exactly where they are today? If yes, how long would your shareholders be OK with you running the company?
