Will Xi’s Three-Nation Visit Convince ASEAN To Challenge Trump? – OpEd
Friday, 2 May 2025 () The Liberation Day announcement was a high point in a conflict that started with Trump’s executive order on 20 January directing cabinet secretaries to submit reports on trade practices and tariff recommendations. On 1 February, Canada and Mexico were faced with 25% tariffs and China with 10% on all its exports to the US. ...
Chinese President Xi Jinping wraps up his Southeast Asia tour with a strategic visit to Cambodia, aiming to fortify bilateral ties and expand regional trade as tensions with the U.S. intensify. Amid fresh American tariffs targeting Chinese and Cambodian exports, Xi's outreach signals China’s pivot toward Southeast Asia.

Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Malaysia marks a pivotal moment in Beijing’s bid to outmaneuver the U.S. in Southeast Asia. With Trump-era tariffs souring Washington's trade ties, Xi aims to convince Malaysia and ASEAN that China is the region’s best long-term partner. Touting deepened strategic ties, tech cooperation, and economic integration, Xi’s charm offensive leans into BRICS, RCEP, and de-dollarization plans. As Malaysia looks East, Beijing is pushing hard to anchor a new global order that trades in renminbi—and trades away American dominance.

As Donald Trump hikes tariffs on Chinese goods to an unprecedented 145%, China appears to be outmaneuvering Washington through clever supply chain rerouting. Chinese exports are increasingly flowing through countries like Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia to dodge U.S. tariffs — raising concerns about global trade transparency. Meanwhile, Vietnam records $18.5 billion in net FDI, some of which may be due to this strategic redirection. Trump has vowed more tariff hikes, while Beijing threatens to retaliate, placing ASEAN economies at risk and pushing the global trade system into chaos.

Japan’s historic visit to Cambodia’s Chinese-renovated Ream Naval Base has sparked concern in Washington. The port call by two Japanese warships marks the first docking at the base, which has raised questions about Beijing’s growing influence in Southeast Asia. Despite assurances from Cambodia that the base is open to all nations, the U.S. has expressed fears over China's expanding strategic foothold in the Gulf of Thailand, a region near the disputed South China Sea. As tensions rise between global powers, this move signals a significant shift in the region’s military and diplomatic dynamics. Watch to understand why this event is creating waves in international relations.

US Secretary of State Rubio says Germany is a 'tyranny in disguise' after AfD verdict

A devastating fire at a restaurant in Liaoyang, Liaoning province, killed 22 and injured 3, Chinese authorities reported. The blaze, which erupted just after noon, sent massive flames shooting from a multi-story building. The cause remains unknown. Liaoyang, part of China's aging rust belt, is no stranger to safety violations. This marks the second deadly fire this month—20 elderly residents died in a Hebei nursing home blaze on April 9. President Xi Jinping has ordered immediate care for survivors and investigations into the incident’s cause and safety lapses.

US President Donald Trump is reportedly shutting down all informal diplomatic channels with China, insisting on direct talks with President Xi Jinping as the US-China trade war deepens. According to Politico, Trump has not authorized White House delegates, hasn’t appointed a lead diplomat, and bypassed the Chinese embassy entirely. With tariffs soaring—145% on Chinese goods and 125% retaliation from Beijing—Trump is said to be using tariff negotiations to pressure allies into isolating China further. Beijing has warned it will retaliate against any such moves made at its expense.

President Donald Trump has launched his first-ever direct attack on Chinese President Xi Jinping, accusing him of using his Vietnam visit to "screw" the United States. Trump’s remarks come amidst the escalating tariff war with China, where he warned that the trade conflict might have far-reaching consequences for the U.S. Despite announcing a massive 145% tariff on Chinese goods, Trump is framing Xi’s trip as part of Beijing’s broader strategy to weaken U.S. interests globally. As tensions mount, experts predict that the war on tariffs could set the stage for a world-changing economic standoff.

As the U.S. slaps 145% tariffs on Chinese goods, President Xi Jinping touches down in Hanoi — and the world takes notice. In a high-stakes diplomatic mission, Xi kicks off his Southeast Asia tour by strengthening economic and strategic ties with Vietnam. With 40 potential deals on the table — from supply chains and rail infrastructure to artificial intelligence and aviation — China and Vietnam are signaling a major shift in regional dynamics. Meanwhile, Vietnam walks a delicate line: negotiating tariff relief from Washington while tightening controls on Chinese goods to avoid rule-of-origin fraud. Is Vietnam aligning with Beijing, or playing both sides in a new global power game? This video unpacks the trade tensions, diplomatic signals, and what Xi's visit could mean for the balance of power in Asia — and beyond.
