    AUSTIN (KXAN)- President Trump is lowering tariffs for imported goods to 10% for all countries, except China. That tariff rate for Chinese good imports has gone up to 125%.

It's a center with more than 35 Asian restaurants and shops. It's been a cultural hub for many Asian businesses for nearly two decades, according to its website.
