Tariffs will not take fizz out of fireworks

On the Fourth of July, whether you gaze up at the pyrotechnics over the East River in New York, watch the nationwide spectacles on TV or stage your own celebration in the backyard, one thing is for sure - thanks for the thrill of fireworks go to China.

Fireworks were originally invented in China in the ninth century to scare away evil spirits for the New Year.
