#USChinaTensions

The calm precedes the storm...

China warns, America escalates, and markets await their last gasps before a potential explosion.

These are no longer just political statements... they are the spark of an economic war that could ignite markets and change the rules of the game globally.

Is the world on the brink of a new conflict?

And who will pay the price this time?

State-backed Chinese funds are halting new investments in the private equity sector in #USA, in the latest escalation by #China in the trade war led by President Donald Trump.

📌The funds have begun withdrawing their investments from funds managed by American private equity firms in recent weeks under pressure from the Chinese government, according to sources told the Financial Times.

📌These shifts in investment orientation toward the US come as China faces the brunt of US tariffs imposed over the past three weeks, which threaten to significantly reduce trade between the world's two largest economies.

📌President #Trump imposed new tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese imports, while #Beijing responded with tariffs of 125%.
