A bilateral trade agreement BTA between the United States and India aims to double trade to $500 billion by 2030. After virtual talks this week, inperson trade negotiations will start next month. By September or October 2025, the first phase of the agreement should be completed. India wants reduced tariffs on clothing, textiles, diamonds, and prawns, while the United States wants duty reductions on industrial commodities, electric vehicles, and agricultural products. Global tariff changes are causing import spikes, especially from China, Vietnam, and Indonesia, which officials watch. By strengthening economic relations in the face of changing global trade dynamics, the agreement might significantly increase trade prospects for both countries. Read More..

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..

Google Clouds uninterruptible power supply UPS equipment malfunctioned, causing a sixhour outage in Columbus, Ohios useast5c zone. A loss of utility power started the disturbance, which led to a cascading failure in the UPS, which depends on batteries to fill the void between generator activation and power outage. More than 20 cloud services, including BigQuery, Cloud SQL, and Cloud VPN, were unavailable due to a severe battery failure that stopped the UPS from operating. Although engineers were able to bypass the failed UPS and use generators to restore power, the full recovery was delayed because several services needed manual intervention. As a preventative measure, Google has committed to auditing its systems and collaborating with its UPS vendor. Read More..

4chan Hacked Moderator Identities and Internal Data Allegedly Leaked

Attackers allegedly obtained access to the backend infrastructure of the online message board 4chan, exposing internal data and moderator identities.

Attackers allegedly obtained access to the backend infrastructure of the online message board 4chan, exposing internal data and moderator identities. It was discovered that a part of the website that had been inactive had abruptly reactivated, displaying the message "U GOT HACKED". Cybersecurity experts say the hack looks real based on screenshots purportedly displaying 4chans backend systems that have gone viral online. The site has had sporadic outages, and the admins have not yet verified the complete scope of the compromise. There are worries about privacy hazards because some reports suggest that the personal information of users and moderators may have been compromised. The occurrence feeds conjecture about possible longterm effects by drawing attention to the dangers of unauthorised system access and the increasing weaknesses in internet platforms. Read More..
