21 h. ago Kenya’s plan to switch debt payments from US dollars to yuan is a ‘win

Kenya’s plan to convert its US dollar-denominated Chinese debt to yuan is a “win-win”, as it is expected to reduce interest payments for the African nation while advancing China’s goal of increasing the global use of its currency, according to analysts. The deal would be precedent-setting and could establish a new rule book for future debt restructuring and possibly cut reliance on the US dollar. In late August, Kenya’s Treasury announced that talks with the Export-Import Bank of China were at...

3 d. ago As China exports to Russia dip on less car demand, new deals show ‘room to grow’

Despite a slowdown in automotive shipments from China to Russia, there is room for them to advance trade settled in yuan and roubles as both countries continue to be pressured away from the US market, analysts said on Tuesday during Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to the world’s second-largest economy. Russians want consumer goods, personal electronics and common machinery that are difficult to import from the West because of trade sanctions over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine that began...

3 d. ago US revokes TSMC’s ‘fast track’ China export status as controls tighten

The US has revoked Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company’s (TSMC) authorisation to freely ship essential gear to its main Chinese chipmaking base, potentially curtailing its production capabilities at that older generation facility. The change removes a fast track export privilege known as Validated End User (VEU) status, meaning future shipments of US-origin chipmaking tools to TSMC’s Nanjing site will require individual licences. The action mirrors steps the US took to revoke the same...

4 d. ago China’s exporters ahead in tariff game, paying estimated 9% share of costs

Chinese exporters appear to hold significant bargaining power in their trade with the United States, according to an estimate from one of Beijing’s top investment banks, carrying 9 per cent of the cost burden created by the tariffs US President Donald Trump levied earlier this year. The findings from China International Capital Corporation (CICC) run contrary to earlier claims by US officials – including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent – that Washington has been on the winning side of the...

9 d. ago Why Trump’s furniture tariffs could complicate efforts to reassemble China trade

US President Donald Trump’s renewed threat to impose tariffs on imported furniture could erode some of China’s exports while doing little to bring manufacturing back to America as he promised, according to analysts. And they added that such a move risks escalating tensions between the world’s two largest economies, whose earlier extension of a trade truce, coupled with conciliatory statements, had suggested a more amenable posture in trade negotiations. Trump announced plans to impose steep...

1 week ago Trump’s 200% rare earth tariff threat proof of China’s leverage: analysts

Revived threats of tariff increases from US President Donald Trump over China’s supply of rare earth elements highlight the minerals’ importance in global manufacturing, analysts said – and show Beijing its dominance in this area remains a potent source of leverage in trade negotiations. China will face “200 per cent tariffs, or something” unless it continues to ensure shipments of permanent magnets containing the minerals will reach the US, Trump said during a meeting with South Korean...

From Paris to Athens, and Lisbon to Berlin, Europeans are enduring a prolonged and punishing summer heatwave amid global warming. And rising right alongside the blazing temperatures are China’s exports of air conditioners (ACs) to the continent, with a nearly 60 per cent jump by volume in July, compared with the same time last year, according to Chinese customs data. The Spanish capital of Madrid kicked off the week under a yellow alert – the third-highest heat warning on a four-tier scale –...

Analysts said diesel generator sets sell for higher prices overseas, opening up vast opportunities for overseas market growth. In the first seven months of this year, China exported 502,463 diesel generator sets, up more than 20 per cent year...
