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.
While criticism of the U.S. surged on platforms like Weibo, including viral posts about an alleged American egg shortage, posts from Chinese companies highlighting the negative impact of the tariffs were removed.
WeChat flagged the deleted content as violating regulations.

China’s 84% retaliatory tariffs unfortunate.
China’s escalation is a loser for them.
They can raise their tariffs, but so what?

🇨🇳 Will China bow to Trump’s new tariff threats?

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.

Can Trump End the Tariff War?
Here’s why he might — and why he probably won’t.
🔽 Why He Could Give It Up
🔼 Why He Won’t Back Down
Here’s why he might — and why he probably won’t.
🔽 Why He Could Give It Up
• Economic pain: Higher prices, job losses, shrinking GDP
• Market pressure: Wall Street, exporters & consumers pushing back
• Political risk: Voter backlash in key states
• Deal-making: Might lift tariffs if he can claim a “win”
🔼 Why He Won’t Back Down
• Ideology: Tariffs are core to his “America First” playbook
• Base appeal: Seen as protecting U.S. jobs & hitting back at China
• Campaign promise: Central to his political identity
• Leverage: Believes tariffs get results — or at least headlines
• New normal: Wants 10% baseline tariffs as permanent policy
