8 d. ago Trump’s tariff tirade is nothing more than hurtful political theatre

Markets that seemed initially unconcerned about US-China trade tensions reacted sharply last Friday to US President Donald Trump’s decision to impose an extra 100 per cent tariffs on Chinese imports. Wall Street, driven by AI-focused tech companies, lost around US$2 trillion in value. This increase in dependence on China’s supply chain suggests that any further escalation could trigger a market bubble burst. Mixed messaging from Trump to try to keep China off balance isn’t helping to ease...

1 week ago Trump to slap new 100 per cent tariff on Chinese goods, along with additional tech controls

In a major escalation of trade tensions between the world’s two largest economies, US President Donald Trump on Friday announced an additional tariff of 100 per cent on all Chinese imports, on top of levies already in place. “Starting November 1st, 2025 (or sooner, depending on any further actions or changes taken by China), the United States of America will impose a tariff of 100 per cent on China, over and above any tariff that they are currently paying”, he said in a social media post. “Also...

China’s embassy in Mexico issued a sharp rebuke after a US diplomat urged Mexico to help Washington reduce reliance on Chinese-made semiconductors, calling the remarks coercive and accusing the United States of practising “economic bullying”. In a statement posted on Wednesday on X, the embassy said recent comments by Mark Johnson, the chargé d’affaires at the US embassy in Mexico, “revealed Washington’s true intentions”. Johnson had told the Mexico-US Semiconductor Forum that the United States...

3 w. ago EU is diversifying its supply chains, but it’s still reliant on China

Europe’s attempt to reduce its dependence on China through trade agreements in Asia may not achieve the intended outcome. Instead of breaking ties, Brussels is being drawn deeper into supply chains where Chinese companies remain central. EU deals in recent years with Vietnam, Indonesia and India broaden market access and diversify suppliers, yet also channel European demand into production networks controlled by China. Meanwhile, the European Union continues trade talks with Thailand, Malaysia...

4 w. ago China’s rejection of Nvidia chips a turning point in global tech race

When US tech giant Nvidia unveiled its B40-series chips for China – stripped-down versions of its more advanced H20 line – many in Washington and Silicon Valley believed they had struck a clever compromise. The United States would retain its technological lead while allowing China to buy “safe” alternatives that preserved its dependence on American suppliers.
