Turkish President Erdogan says "storm is coming":
The global system is fundamentally cracking; we are witnessing the rise of a more protectionist structure in place of the neoliberal economic and political order.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that a severe storm is coming—one that will affect everyone, big or small.

404: Tarriffs Not Found
China has begun censoring social media content related to new U.S. tariffs, including searches for “tariff” and “104,” after Washington’s 104% duties on Chinese goods took effect.

🔺 Why China won’t back down:
Here’s why it might — and why it likely won’t. 👇
🔻 Why China could concede:
• Economy is shaky — real estate slump, weak demand, deflation.
• High tariffs could hurt exports, jobs, and social stability.
• Still relies on access to U.S. market in key sectors.
• Markets react to geopolitics — a hardline stance could trigger sell-offs, weaken the yuan, and raise borrowing costs.
🔺 Why China won’t back down:
• Xi can’t appear weak — sovereignty is a red line.
• Trump-era deal fell apart — why trust again?
• High-tech sectors are strategic, non-negotiable.
• Can hit back with targeted retaliation (e.g. rare earths, US firms).
• Framing U.S. as bully may win points globally.
