    Trump's trade war 2.0?

    Since taking office on January 20th, Trump has adopted a rather nuanced stance on China tariffs, a contrast to his hardline trade policy during his first presidency. However, the end of the honeymoon period still looms, as the "Tariff Man" campaigned on levying high tariffs on all Chinese exports to the U.S.. Can the two sides find ways to establish a mutually beneficial trade relationship? Why has trade been resilient despite Trump's tariffs that were kept in place by Biden? Can new and bigger tariffs really make America great again?

    China-Trump round II

    On January 20th, Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, declaring that "the golden age of America begins right now". Han Zheng, Chinese President Xi Jinping's special representative and Vice President of China, attended the inauguration ceremony, marking the first time for a senior Chinese official to participate in a U.S. presidential inauguration. Just days before the big event, President Xi spoke with Trump on the phone at the latter's request and both leaders expressed the hope that ties would get off to a good start in Trump's new term. How will the world's two largest economies handle their relationship? How will this impact the rest of the world, particularly the Global South?

    TikTok flip-flop

    TikTok is back online, after going dark for 12 hours. It chose to shut itself down over divestment. The abrupt disappearance came just minutes before a US law banning the app took effect on Sunday, and one day before Donald Trump returns to power. But now, the app, along with its 170 million American users, about half the country's population, thanks him for restoring its operation. Days earlier, many TikTokers, who call themselves "TikTok refugees", flocked to the Chinese app RedNote, or Xiaohongshu, learning some Mandarin and Chinese dishes along the way. Can Trump save TikTok eventually? What will happen after the 90-day reprieve ends? How long will American users stay on RedNote?

Rescue teams were immediately mobilized in a race against time despite the high altitude, remote location and freezing temperature. What's the latest on the ground? How are disaster response teams adapting to the region's unique needs?
