Export Subsidy, Tariff's Effect on Terms of Trade

Suppose that one country subsidizes is exports and the other country imposes a countervailing tariff that offsets its effects, so that in the end relative prices in the second country are unchanged.

(Hint: Think of adding a new economy identical to that of China to the world economy)
