Attempt 4 International Trade: Work It Out 2 According to Chinese government statistics, China imported over 1 million cars in 2012. Let's see what would happen to consumer and producer surplus if China were to ban car imports. The accompanying diagram represents the market for midsized cars in China.

According to Chinese government statistics, China imported over 1 million cars in 2012. Let's see what would happen to consumer and producer surplus if China were to ban car imports. The accompanying diagram represents the market for midsized cars in China. To keep things simple, let's assume that if car imports were banned, the equilibrium price of cars (holding quality constant) would rise by \( \$ 5,000 \).
