Trump’s tariffs on China have sparked a new trade war! Who is winning?

A memo from Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. paves the way for more of the country’s officials to travel to Taiwan, ending a blanket ban under previous policy. The memo also opens the door for official delegations from Taiwan to visit the Philippines.

This is a new building in China and it’s already falling apart!

China’s DeepSeek AI chatbot has shocked the tech world, claiming to be as good or better than U.S. rivals like OpenAI and doing it for a fraction of the cost. But the development has raised questions about how effective U.S. export controls on China have been, and stoked fears over national security. For more, TaiwanPlus spoke to Center for Strategic and International Studies analyst Matt Pearl.

These high-rise buildings are a symbol of China’s urbanization process, but they also represent a major flaw. When the buildings were first constructed, they were modern and impressive, which seemed like a good thing. But over time, the hidden issues have become more apparent, and maintenance costs are extremely high. People will naturally move away from these homes, which increases the likelihood of these high-rise buildings becoming slums.

Some experts believe that China’s involvement in the Ukraine war could serve as a way to gain combat experience for a potential invasion of Taiwan, given that China has not fought a war in more than 40 years. Our guests, Guermantes Lailari and Sana Hashmi, share their insights.

The Philippines has taken a major step in strengthening its maritime defense by entering into a strategic partnership with Fincantieri (Italy) and thyssenkrupp Marine Systems (Germany) to build the U212 NFS-class submarine. The project not only brings state-of-the-art underwater technology, but also supports the development of the local defense industry and the construction of a new submarine base. With stealth technology, Air Independent Propulsion (AIP), and non-magnetic steel, the submarine will be an invisible force that strengthens the Philippines’ position in the Indo-Pacific region.#Philippines #Submarine #Fincantieri #Thyssenkrupp #U212NFS #Submarine #HorizonIII #MilitaryModernization #PhilippineNavy #MaritimeDefense #SouthChinaSea #AdvancedSubmarine #Armament #AirIndependentPropulsion #NonMagneticSteel #Italy #Germany #PhilippineDefense #MilitaryNews #IndoPacific

The trade war is escalating, and the US tariffs on China have now reached a staggering 245% on some products. On April 15, Xia Baolong, Director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council, harshly criticised US President Trump’s tariff policies during a speech, stating, “It’s not our taxes they want, it’s our lives.” His strong reaction underscores the severe impact that Trump’s tariffs have had on China.Join this channel to get access to perks:

China and the rest of the world have relied on American consumers to stay afloat. The trade imbalances between the United States and other countries are staggering. ASEAN countries have become key transit hubs for Chinese goods to be sold to the United States, with Vietnam leading the pack. Despite its relatively small GDP, Vietnam’s trade surplus with the United States is nearly half the size of China’s. Meanwhile, the U.S. has helped Canada, Mexico, and the EU achieve more balanced trade. Without the United States, the rest of the world would all run trade deficits with China. The numbers don’t lie—see them for yourself.

Jordan Schachtel, publisher of The Dossier, has called for a complete decoupling of the United States from China, arguing that the current relationship is “completely unacceptable.”Speaking to Sky News host James Morrow, Mr Schachtel discussed his recent piece titled “Decoupling from China is Worth the Price.” “The Chinese government is extremely authoritarian. They continually steal an estimated half a trillion dollars’ worth of intellectual property, including research and development, super-classified weapons systems, our fighter jets. And we have no recourse for it,” he said. “And the Chinese have been abusing the trade relationship of the United States for decades now. “So I believe that the time has come to fully decouple.”
