Panel: Why are US allies making nice with China?

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is the latest leader of a US ally to visit China in pursuit of renewed ties. He says it is vital to build a more sophisticated relationship with China. Apart from Starmer, China has hosted leaders of South Korea, Canada, Finland, and Ireland since the start of 2026. All these countries have been hit by Washington’s so-called reciprocal trade tariffs over the past year, and a few have found themselves at odds with US President Donald Trump over his desire to take control of Greenland. Why are some of Washington’s closest allies looking to China for reliable relations? Host Ding Heng is joined by Muhammad Ali Nasir, Professor of Economics at the University of Leeds in Britain; Liang Linlin, Director of Communication and Research with China Chamber of Commerce to the European Union; Professor Cui Hongjian from Beijing Foreign Studies University’s Academy of Regional and Global Governance.

Trump escalates tariffs

The screw tightens as the U.S. doubles down on its tariff measures on April 2, a so-called “Liberation Day", according to President Donald Trump. Sweeping tariffs unveiled a minimum 10 percent tariff on all trading partners, as well as so-called "reciprocal" actions on dozens of countries. Under Trump's plan, the U.S. will add a new 34 percent tariff on Chinese goods, on top of the 20 percent tariff that he has already imposed on Beijing in recent months. Will this plan truly "Make America Wealthy Again"? What's on Trump's mind this time around? How will the global economy bear the pressure?
