Opinion | China must now save the global trading system, and be prepared to take extraordinary steps
Wednesday was "liberation day," so to speak.
US President Donald Trump has unveiled sweeping tariffs on the entire planet, going further and more extensively than anyone predicted. I genuinely thought the President would be somewhat lenient on allied states for strategic purposes, but nope, the slapping of 32% on Taiwan, 24% on Japan, 25% on Korea, 26% on India, and then massive tariffs on locations deemed alternative manufacturing hubs to China, such as Vietnam (46%), Cambodia (49%), Bangladesh (37%) has taken myself by complete surprise. He has been merciless and ruthless.
Opinion | Trump's Cultural Revolution at home, and why he's taking hammer to VoA and RFA
Last week Donald Trump signed an executive order effectively freezing the media outlets "Voice of America" (VoA) and Radio Free Asia (RFA). The outlets, which would be condemned as propaganda outlets if they were any other country, are designed to push US narratives, ideology, and political goals to the world, with these organizations especially targeting China. RFA after all, pushes broadcasting in a number of languages designed to reach sensitive areas in China's territory, such as for example Tibet, Xinjiang, and Hong Kong.
