President Donald Trump carried through with his global tariffs for what he deemed “Liberation Day.” This includes sharp tariffs against many countries in the world, while offering a way out if they drop their tariffs and trade barriers against the United States. The day after, the stock markets saw a huge selloff, in what some framed as an attempt to short the market. Yet already, many countries are saying they’re ready to negotiate.

President Trump says China is “panicking” with its 34-percent retaliatory tariffs on all U.S. imports, set to take effect next week.

The Chinese military has launched a powerful and unstoppable joint exercise involving its army, navy, air force and rocket force around Taiwan in a clear build-up to invasion, days after US defense chief Pete Hegseth vowed to curb “China’s aggression” on his first visit to Asia. 💚

On March 25th and 27th, Taiwan’s defense department detected nearly 30 Chinese military aircraft on combat patrols. Each day, six ships— including Type 052D destroyers and Type 071 amphibious landing ships— coordinated with the aircraft in what appeared to be a show of force aimed at blocking Taiwan. In response, Taiwan quickly scrambled more than 10 F-16Vs and several Mirage 2000-5s, successfully pushing the Chinese jets out of its air defense identification zone. On March 27th, around 1,500 people took part in a national defense exercise in Tainan, with President Lai Ching-te declaring that “every citizen is a soldier,” as 170,000 active-duty troops and 400,000 reserves were placed on high alert.Join this channel to get access to perks:

Donald Trump says he wants to use big fees on Chinese ships to reboot US shipbuilding. Experts warn the move likely won’t work, and instead would raise prices for consumers and damage the US economy.China will produce more than half of the world’s new ships this year, compared to 5% in 2000, while the US barely makes any at all. So how did China become so dominant, and could the US ever catch up? Or is the proposal intended as just another negotiating tactic in Trump’s global trade war?

U.S. and Chinese military officials met in Shanghai for a series of meetings which the U.S. military said on Thursday were focused on reducing unsafe actions by Chinese military ships and planes. Watch to know more!#usa #trumpadministration #china

China has announced it will impose export controls on certain rare earth-related items. Additionally, starting April 10, China will apply a 34% tariff on all goods imported from the United States.

China has retaliated against US tariffs on imports into America. Beijing announced it is imposing additional import taxes of 34 per cent on American goods coming in.The Chinese Ministry of Commerce stated the reciprocal tariffs “seriously undermines the rules-based multilateral trading system”.

Xi Jinping’s once-unchallenged grip on power may be slipping. It began with the fall of his handpicked foreign minister, Qin Gang, followed by the purge of defense chief Li Shangfu. Now, the shockwaves have reached the civilian side. In an unprecedented move, two sitting Politburo members have swapped jobs without explanation, shaking the Party’s core. Has Xi lost control over personnel decisions inside the CCP? Is Zhang Youxia pulling strings behind the scenes? What looks like a bureaucratic shuffle could be the opening move in a brewing political purge. 1. CCP’s organization structure2. Why is this job swap significant?3. Who are the two officials involved?4. Is Zhang Youxia behind this?

Lockheed Martin unveiled Taiwan’s first newly built F-16 Block 70 during a rollout ceremony at its Greenville, South Carolina, facility on March 28, 2025. The aircraft, an F-16D which is a two seater variant, with serial number 6831, is the first of 66 F-16 Block 70s ordered in 2019 as part of an $8 billion deal. These new aircraft will complement the 139 F-16s already in service with the Taiwanese Air Force. The existing fleet was upgraded from the original F-16 Block 20 Mid-Life Update (MLU) configuration to the F-16V Block 70 standard. The F-16V reached Final Operational Capability in 2021, with the last upgraded aircraft delivered in 2023. According to the Taipei Times, the new jets will be assigned to the 7th Tactical Fighter Wing to bolster Taiwan’s eastern defenses.The publication also reported that during a January 2025 inspection, President William Lai stated that two of the wing’s three tactical groups had been staffed and were awaiting aircraft deliveries.In this video, Defense Updates analyzes how F-16 Block 70 provides Taiwan with a means to counter China ?#defenseupdates #usvschina #taiwanvschina Chapters:0:00 TITLE00:11 INTRODUCTION01:32 SPONSORSHIP – NordVPN02:06 THE DEAL03:17 F-16 BLOCK 70 IS POTENT06:43 ANALYSIS

President Donald Trump is looking to make some of the biggest changes to our nation’s defense capabilities in (at least) 60 years—and he’s going to do it in space.After launching the Space Force as the 6th branch of the military in his first term and reestablishing Space Command, Trump is seeking to expand U.S. military capabilities in space to include hundreds (or even thousands) of satellites equipped with heat-seeking missiles that can be fired to destroy nuclear warheads directly in enemy nations.Meaning that instead of waiting until a missile from Russia, China, or North Korea is on its way to America, this constellation of satellites can rain down missiles directly on any nation on earth, destroying the nukes right then and there.This is truly the nuclear war in space that Ronald Reagan famously envisioned. Except that now, with advances in manufacturing, computing, and AI, it looks like it’s actually becoming a reality.

In this video, we explore the latest developments surrounding China’s most advanced aircraft carrier, the Fujian, as captured by eye in the sky through commercial satellite images. The carrier, currently completed its seventh sea trial in the Bohai Sea, demonstrates impressive manoeuvrability and advanced technological capabilities. We delve into the intricate details of the shock wave test that was conducted during these trials—a critical evaluation where a controlled underwater explosion tests the ship’s resistance to the shock of enemy mines or torpedoes. This test is essential in ensuring the structural integrity and combat readiness of the vessel, especially given its state-of-the-art electromagnetic catapult system.Our discussion covers how this technology, previously seen only on vessels like the USS Gerald Ford, is set to revolutionize the launch and recovery of aircraft. Additionally, we compare the Fujian to its predecessors, the Liaoning and Shandong, highlighting its modern design and enhanced capabilities. The video provides a comprehensive analysis of the Fujian’s development timeline, its rigorous testing procedures, and the strategic implications for China’s maritime power. Join us as we break down the technical aspects and operational significance of this groundbreaking naval asset.Fujian 7th Sea Trial Completed | Shock Wave Test of Fujian Aircraft Carrier#FujianCarrier #ShockWaveTest #ElectromagneticCatapult #SeaTrials

The European Union has accused China of increasing cross-strait tensions by holding military drills around Taiwan. It called on all parties to exercise restraint. Taiwan has deployed its own navy in response to the drills – which some are calling a dress rehearsal for an invasion. China claims Taiwan as part of its territory and has not ruled out the use of force to take it over.Chapters:00:00 EU criticizes China military drills around Taiwan02:45 Rorry Daniels, Asia security specialist

The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) launched joint exercises around Taiwan on April 1, 2025, marking Beijing’s latest warning to “separatist forces” on the island. According to a statement by the PLA’s Eastern Theatre Command, the patrols and exercises included simulated air and land strikes, as well as control of key passages to test the joint combat readiness of its troops.

On March 28, a 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, with its aftershocks reaching Bangkok, Thailand, over 1,020 kilometers away. The earthquake triggered a shocking event—a 31-story, 137-meter tall building, the Audit Office building in Bangkok, collapsed. This building, constructed by China Railway No.10 Engineering Group Group, was not only the tallest building to completely collapse in the earthquake, but also the company’s first super-high-rise project overseas. In just a few seconds, it went from being a nearly completed landmark to a pile of debris.
