U.S.-China Tensions Escalate Amid Trade and Tech Disputes**

Tensions between the U.S. and China continue to rise over trade restrictions, tech competition, and geopolitical rivalries. Recent U.S. tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles and semiconductors have drawn sharp criticism from Beijing, which vows retaliation. Meanwhile, disputes over Taiwan, South China Sea sovereignty, and espionage allegations further strain relations. Both nations are tightening export controls, particularly on advanced AI and semiconductor technologies, fueling a tech decoupling. Diplomatic talks have stalled, raising concerns about a prolonged economic cold war. Global markets remain wary, as escalating friction could disrupt supply chains and trade. Analysts warn that without de-escalation, the rivalry may deepen, impacting global stability. Investors and policymakers are closely monitoring developments for signs of compromise or further confrontation. (
