#USChinaTensions Escalate: Global Trade & Security at Risk
Tensions between the U.S. and China are boiling over in April 2025. The U.S. slapped 145% tariffs on Chinese imports, triggering a 125% retaliatory strike from Beijing. Trade war? Absolutely. But it doesn’t stop there.
China is pushing its companies to ditch the U.S. dollar in favor of the yuan, while also blocking Boeing aircraft deals and halting American aerospace imports. Even more concerning—China has restricted rare earth mineral exports, hitting U.S. defense production where it hurts.
With accusations of military escalation and global alliances under pressure, the rift is no longer just economic—it's geopolitical. The world is watching.
