China’s Q1 GDP Grows 5.4%, But U.S. Tariffs Threaten Future Expansion

Chinas firstquarter GDP rose by 5.4%, which is above forecast, but it faces uncertainty due to rising U.S. tariffs. As manufacturers hurried shipments

Chinas firstquarter GDP rose by 5.4%, which is above forecast, but it faces uncertainty due to rising U.S. tariffs. As manufacturers hurried shipments before the 145% U.S. tariff surge going into force, the growth was propelled by robust exports. Though exports are predicted to drop precipitously in the upcoming months, analysts caution that this momentum might not endure. Despite government stimulus attempts, real estate investment is declining by around 10% annually. Consumer prices, on the other hand, dropped by 0.1%, indicating poor domestic demand. Beijing is focusing on increasing consumption to offset the effects of tariffs, but experts anticipate weaker growth in the future estimates for GDP in 2025 have been lowered to 3.4%. The trade war is still influencing Chinas economic prospects. Read More..

U.S.China Trade War Intensifies as Tariffs Reach Historic Levels

With trade ties worsening and tariffs hitting alltime highs, the U.S.China economic decoupling is speeding fast. Bilateral trade is essentially on lif

With trade ties worsening and tariffs hitting alltime highs, the U.S.China economic decoupling is speeding fast. Bilateral trade is essentially on life support after the U.S. levied 145% tariffs on Chinese imports and China responded with 125% penalties. Chinas dominance over rare earth shipments and its $750 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds, which might be used as leverage, further complicate the position. According to the World Economic Forum, a complete decoupling may harm the entire world economy, possibly leading to inflation and instability. Global markets might be impacted by an extreme decoupling, which Goldman Sachs says could result in $2.5 trillion in bond and equity selloffs. The dynamics of international trade are still shaped by the ambiguity surrounding U.S.China ties. Read More..

To evaluate the economic effects and hold discussions with Washington, Taiwan is getting ready to model how possible U.S. tariffs would affect its semiconductor sector.

Apple and Nvidia, which have announced significant U.S. investments, continue to rely heavily on Taiwan, the home of TSMC, the largest contract chipmaker in the world. The government hopes to negotiate tariff reductions to minimise possible disruptions to the global semiconductor supply chain. Read More..

China and Vietnam Sign 40 Agreements on Trade, Railways, and Digital Economy

Amid growing trade tensions between the United States and China, Chinese President Xi Jinping has started his trip to Southeast Asia, beginning in Vie

Amid growing trade tensions between the United States and China, Chinese President Xi Jinping has started his trip to Southeast Asia, beginning in Vietnam. His visit coincides with Vietnam negotiating a 46% tariff reduction that would go into effect in July, while Beijing faces 145% U.S. duties. With an emphasis on collaboration in the digital economy, agricultural commerce, and railroads, Xi and Vietnamese officials inked 40 agreements. Although specifics remain unknown, China has also promised further loans for crossborder train connections.

Taiwanese Tech Stocks Surge, But Future Trade Policies Remain Uncertain

The U.S. temporarily lifted tariffs on necessary equipment, such as laptops, cellphones, and AI servers, which caused Taiwanese tech stocks to soar. In line with market optimism, major Apple suppliers Foxconn, Quanta, and Inventec reported rises of 4% to 7%. However, Donald Trumps announcement of impending semiconductor tariffs caused TSMC, the biggest contract chipmaker in the world, to go negative, igniting concerns about future trade policy. The exemptions offer some respite, but analysts caution that there is still uncertainty surrounding more extensive U.S.China trade talks. Since investors are closely monitoring additional tariff developments, the market response highlights how unstable global tech supply networks are. Read More..
