I think I was wrong originally. My current understanding is that they did deliberately disadvantage pregnant woman: https://lemmy.world/comment/17597987

Oh so I didn't understand it correctly. Thank you for pointing it out. The difference between pregnant woman and everyone else is when the 90% pay kicks in.
So in general, people get 100% pay the first day of sick leave and 90% every day following.
They made a special carve-out for pregnant women so they get 90% on the first day.
Yeah that's shitty to go out of your way to hurt pregnant woman.

If I understand correctly (I didn't), ~~everyone got the cut to 90% except woman on maternity leave and pathological pregnancy. They are upset that if a pregnant woman otherwise takes sick time, they will see the 90% pay like everyone else.~~
The headline made it sound like women were getting 90% pay for the entire pregnancy.

Or they are saying that there isn't likely to be much trade anyway with such high tariffs.
“Given that American goods are no longer marketable in China under the current tariff rates, if the US further raises tariffs on Chinese exports, China will disregard such measures,”
