#USChinaTensions The United States and China are playing with fire. As of April 21, 2025, tensions between both powers are no longer hidden behind diplomatic statements. Trump has reactivated his old recipe: 145% tariffs on Chinese products. Beijing did not take long to respond with a 125% tariff on American goods. But the clash goes beyond trade. Joint military exercises between the U.S. and the Philippines near Taiwan, missiles included, have raised alarms in China. In response, deliveries of Boeing airplanes were canceled, and state-owned companies were required to use the yuan abroad. It is not just a clash between giants; it is a reordering that threatens to fracture the global economy. As supply chains tremble and the Asia-Pacific enters a new phase of uncertainty, the world watches. No one knows what the next move will be, but it is clear that this is just the beginning.
