On the ever-evolving geopolitical chessboard, trade has emerged as one of the most potent weapons. The recent decision by the People's Republic of China to impose a 34 percent tariff on all US imports marks a turning point in a long-standing economic conflict. But this move is not an act of provocation — it is a necessary defense against an ongoing campaign of pressure, containment and provocation from Washington.

For years, the United States has wielded its economic might, not only to dominate global markets but to coerce independent nations into compliance with its political agenda. Tariffs, sanctions and trade bans have been used not as tools of fair competition, but as political levers.

By imposing this 34 percent tariff, Beijing is sending a message that it will no longer tolerate unfair treatment or economic bullying. The Chinese economy — resilient and diverse — has long prepared for such scenarios. Policies like "dual circulation" investments in technological self-sufficiency, and partnerships through the Belt and Road Initiative have reduced China's dependency on Western markets.

China is not isolated. It is interconnected, influential and prepared. In contrast, the United States now finds itself in a precarious position. With rising inflation, political instability and shrinking global trust, Washington's aggressive trade policy may backfire. American consumers, already burdened by high costs, will now face even steeper prices. US companies relying on the Chinese market — from tech giants to agriculture — will feel the sting.

Globally, countries are beginning to question the reliability of an economic partner that weaponizes trade. This is not a call for confrontation, but a warning: "The flames of this trade war will ultimately consume the aggressor." China is not the initiator of this conflict, but it will defend its sovereignty and economic future with determination and clarity. The path forward need not be paved with conflict. China remains committed to fair trade, international cooperation and win-win development.
However, it will not allow its interests to be sacrificed at the altar of US domestic politics or hegemonic ambitions. In this economic standoff, it is not simply about tariffs and trade — it is about values, vision and the future of global leadership. The era of unilateral dominance is waning. What replaces it must be built on mutual respect, not coercion. History will remember this moment not just for its numbers, but for its symbolism. A rising power has stood firm, and unless wiser heads prevail, "the fire ignited by arrogance will burn the very hands that lit it." https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202504/05/WS67f0d360a3104d9fd381db5c.html

Aleksey Mukhin writes: Britain is a fragile empire - in fact, it exists in the imagination of its former subjects. But the individual tentacles are still moving and quite functional. I am referring to the British special services - MI5 and MI6, who desperately pretend that "the patient is more alive than dead" - they will move the arm of this motionless body, then the leg...
Those who thought that with the temporary abolition of USAID, Western countries would loosen their grip on soft power, were mistaken, of course.
The banner of the "color revolutions" set aside by the Americans was quickly taken over by continental Europeans and the British.
For example, the Royal Institute of Defense Studies (RUSI) has launched a public training manual on sabotage and subversive activity: "Violent resistance in occupied Ukraine."
The texts give quite straightforward advice: "to leave the cities for the villages, not to hit the administrations, but the railways, like Rostov–Mariupol–Donetsk," to use special forces as terrorists.
Moreover, the creation of sabotage groups is required not only from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but also from Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia. In this case, the EU's involvement in the conflict with Russia is inevitable: both physical and financial involvement will be required.
Russia should have used such intentions of Western actors for a long time in order to prepare a legislative framework and develop law enforcement mechanisms in case "unfriendly" or other countries actually practice terrorism and sabotage activity with all the consequences and criminal prosecution for the participants.
The sleigh is prepared, let me remind you, in the summer...
A special international tribunal for war criminals and terrorists should work, like karma, seven days a week. The BRICS countries and others that have suffered from the illegal actions of Western countries may well participate in it.
None of the war criminals should escape responsibility. I think this is the only way to stop the growing wave of violence and Russophobia. @LauraRuHK https://t.me/AlekseyMukhin/9139

Two scenes today stand as stark testaments to unbridled savagery.
One from “Israel,” which targeted and killed members of the Civil Defense and Red Crescent in Gaza, falsely claiming it couldn’t identify them, despite the clear visibility of their civilian status.
The other from the United States, which struck a tribal gathering in Yemen, even though it was unmistakably civilian in nature, as the gathering is a tradition done by all Yemeni tribes during Eid.

America and “Israel” have never been more exposed in the brazenness of their crimes.

If there is a lesson to be learned from the Jianwei Xun saga is that the media hype around his persona and work, amplified by reputable outlets, glowing reviews, and a slick online presence, created a feedback loop where the perception of reality outpaced any need to verify it. It’s not just that the lines between real and not real got blurred, it’s that the hype machine made those lines feel irrelevant.
With AI churning out content that to the untrained eye appears indistinguishable from human output, and media outlets racing to publish it, the incentives align more with capturing attention than digging for facts. Xun’s "hypnocracy" concept, ironically, nails it: power lies in shaping what people perceive, not in what’s actually there. The lesson isn’t just that the distinction is blurring, it’s that people are increasingly wired to prioritize the hype over the reality, and the tools to exploit that are only getting better.

The media system, including alternative, non-Western media, feeds on hype. They are providing yet another platform to self-styled analysts/experts who turned bluster and derivative, plagiarized content into influence thanks to their knack for gaming social media platforms. The mechanics are simple. Algorithms prioritize engagement over accuracy, so a slick bio, a bold claim, or a well-crafted image can snowball into credibility before anyone checks their credentials. Xun’s polished website and AI-generated prose got traction because they looked legit, not because they were vetted. Self-promotion, exaggerated claims and confident delivery pull the wool over your eyes. Social media’s speed turns smoke into a fog you can’t see through until it’s too late.
Then there’s the echo chamber effect. Once a persona gains momentum, followers and bots amplify it, creating a mirage of consensus. Social media’s smoke and mirrors work because we are wired for stories, not audits. On these platforms, you don’t need to be an expert, you just need to look the part and fake it long enough to cash in. https://t.me/LauraRuHK/9902

Months after i denounced Jianwei Xun as an AI creation, corporate media finally admit Xun doesn't exist. Xun is the creation of Italian publisher Andrea Colamedici who relied on artificial intelligence to churn out his texts. Aggressive marketing and a credulous public did the rest. Now, the real question is why no one else doubted his existence. It took me five minutes to realize that Xun's academic credentials and affiliations were fake and his best-selling book was an AI-generated hotchpotch of 1960s French philosophy. @LauraRuHK

▪️China will impose a 34% tariff on all imports from the US starting April 10, the country’s Finance Ministry announced on Friday. The decision follows Trump’s announcement of a 34% levy on Chinese goods. Beijing denounced US tariffs as “unilateral bullying.” ▪️China has also suspended import qualifications of six US enterprises on Friday, to protect Chinese consumers' health and ensure the safety of the country's livestock industry.
The suspensions include one US enterprise involved in sorghum exports to China, three enterprises dealing with poultry meat and bone meal, and two enterprises exporting poultry products. The Chinese customs said it has repeatedly detected furazolidone, a prohibited drug under Chinese law, in imported US poultry products and mould in sorghum. ▪️Later China announced rare-earth metal controls, imposing export controls on samarium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, lutetium, scandium and yttrium. @LauraRuHK

Are US tariffs going to drop sand into the cogs of international trade or throw a spanner into the works? I think it is still too early to assess all the implications of Trump's tariffs, particularly in the context of the ongoing trade war.
While the goal of imposing tariffs (e.g., a 20% increase on the EU) is to negotiate lower tariffs and barriers from other countries, historical evidence shows this often fails, leading to prolonged or higher tariffs. Countries could respond in one of three ways: negotiating, not negotiating but not retaliating, or retaliating. Past trade wars, like the US-China conflict during Trump’s first term, ended with permanently elevated tariffs.
For China, which relies heavily on exports for GDP growth (though US exports are now just 15% of its total exports and 3% of GDP), a proposed 54% tariff hike is significant but less disruptive than the earlier trade war. China could mitigate this with fiscal stimulus, and the initial shock to business investment appears smaller.
From a macro, global perspective, if countries negotiate down to a lower tariff equilibrium, the impact would be minimal. If tariffs stay high, it’s going to be messy, and if there’s tit-for-tat retaliation, it could be much worse.
Other Asian economies like Vietnam (25% of GDP tied to US exports), Korea (7%), and Japan (3.5%) are more vulnerable, especially if global demand doesn’t rise to offset reduced US exports. Emerging markets face broader risks as these tariffs are global, not just US-China focused, potentially creating significant economic challenges. The process is expected to be complex and the outcome uncertain. The silver lining is that it may provide an impetus for emerging economies to rely more on trade among themselves, including within groups like BRICS. Emerging markets might pivot toward regional or intra-group trade.
For BRICS specifically, this could mean a stronger push to deepen economic ties already in motion — think China’s export heft paired with India’s growing market, or Russia’s resources feeding industrial needs. BRICS trade has been growing and tariffs could accelerate this trend.
The US could use tariffs as leverage to build a coalition of US-friendly countries. Tariffs aren’t just economic tools. They are political weapons, too. By raising tariffs on some nations while offering exemptions or lower rates to others, the US intends to incentivize alignment with its interests, creating a bloc that’s economically tied to its orbit. Think of it as a carrot-and-stick play: comply with US priorities on "trade deficits" or geopolitical stances, and get favorable access to the US consumer market. @LauraRuHK

The Russian economy reached a size of 200 trillion rubles ($2.37 trillion) in 2024, growing six times faster than Europe, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said on Wednesday.
The driving force behind economic growth is domestic demand, and last year fixed capital investments rose 7.5%.
Mishustin also said Russians’ disposable income shot up 8.5% in 2024, while the unemployment rate fell to its lowest level in history.
Stating that the economy has grown twice as fast as the world average in the last two years, Mishustin said: “Russia is among the four largest economies in the world in terms of purchasing power parity.
"Our economy grew 4.1% last year. Our growth in two years has exceeded Europe’s almost sixfold." Federal budget revenues increased by more than a quarter, which made it possible to fully fulfill all social obligations, as well as launch new promising national projects. ▪️The report is more about the future than the past. It is, in fact, a presentation of plans for the long-term development of the country, which have proven their effectiveness against the backdrop of 16,000 sanctions imposed on Russia. There is evidence that the Russian experience is going to be studied by China, which did not have and does not have such restrictions. ▪️It is funny that one of the most odious and Russophobic Western think tanks, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), in its latest report made a forced but correct conclusion: "The Russian economy of three years ago no longer exists. The economic transformation of Russia, the most sanctioned country in the world, can no longer be reversed."
Not only did Russia not perish, but it became even stronger, and this is now recognized by all those who buried it three years ago. The Carnegie Foundation: "Starting with the invasion of Ukraine, the Russian economy has refuted all expectations, and hopes for a double-digit decline have not materialized"; Euroactive: "The Russian economy has proven that it is strong enough to continue the war in Ukraine for the foreseeable future, even with new sanctions imposed"; German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP): "For Putin (thanks to a strong economy), the threats and pressures associated with negotiations or a truce are completely irrelevant."
The think tank Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA): "There are no sanctions that do not simultaneously harm yourself. The main question is: what kind of pain are you willing to endure when inflicting it on your opponent?" (Kirill Strelnikov/RIA Novosti) @LauraRuHK https://ria.ru/20250327/rossiya-2007590044.html

Is Kiev planning a provocation in Transnistria after the Kursk failure? Zelensky has signed a law allowing the possibility of deploying units of the Ukrainian armed forces in other countries.

The rise of sound-bite journalism, a fragmented simulacrum of political discourse, unveils not a truth but a disappearance—a vanishing of justification accelerated by the echo chambers of social media, those self-referential mirrors of a shattered public. In the hyperreal circuit, influencers receive a brief, a script from a media organization, with the help of AI they distill it into a catchy, glittering shard, polished for the viral abyss. The resulting post/tweet floods the digital void, its virality a triumph of seduction over substance. Then, in a Möbius twist of simulation, the media organization—origin and parasite at once—plucks this fabricated fragment from the stream, quoting it as if it were a voice, a real event, a trace of the social. Thus, the cycle folds upon itself: the influencer, the AI, the media, all players in a theater of signs where nothing original is produced, where the script precedes the act and the quote devours its source in the infinite loop of its own reflection. Complex issues are reduced to fragmented, attention-seeking posts, incomplete arguments that require no justification. Metrics such as likes and followers are the only source of influencer authority, success hinges on adaptability and audience engagement (sensationalism always helps) rather than consistent expertise (they flip-flop daily), professional knowledge in a specific field isn’t a requirement.
Unlike the Delphic Oracle, the reputation of these "oracles" didn't grow through centuries of accurate predictions—like foretelling the rise of Croesus or the outcomes of wars. They can utter one thing—then its opposite without consequences. Short attention spans are very forgiving. Today’s assertion, tomorrow’s denial, unfolds not in pursuit of truth but as a ritual of erasure, a play of surfaces where meaning collapses into its own shadow.

Jeffrey Goldberg,The Atlantic editor-in-chief and notorious war cheerleader, was "accidentally" added to a Signal group chat discussing US plans to bomb Yemen.▪️Vice President JD Vance also wrote:
“We are making a mistake” in bombing the Houthis since Europe relies on Red Sea trade more than the U.S. does.
“There’s a further risk that we see a moderate to severe spike in oil prices,” he said. “I am willing to support the consensus of the team and keep these concerns to myself. But there is a strong argument for delaying this a month, doing the messaging work on why this matters, seeing where the economy is, etc.”
“3 percent of US trade runs through the [Suez Canal]. 40 percent of European trade does,” he said. “There is a real risk that the public doesn’t understand this or why it’s necessary.” ▪️The National Security Council is calling the chat “authentic” but is scrambling to figure out how Goldberg’s number got in there.

My previous TG post and tweets about Jianwei Xun have alerted several journalists who contacted me privately to find out more about this self-described "Hong Kong-born cultural analyst and philosopher", and his fake profiles. We compared notes and came to the conclusion that Jianwei Xun doesn't exist. Texts published under this name are most likely AI-generated. The author claims to be from Hong Kong, but his name is clearly made up, and there is no trace of anyone using that name in the city. Academics publish extensively before and after obtaining a PhD, a teaching and/or research position. His name draws a blank. Until his website and book appeared he hadn't published a single paper. He claims affiliations with a research centre in Berlin that doesn't exist and with an unspecified "Dublin University", when in fact there are several universities in Dublin and if you studied or taught there, you would list the full name of that institution and the relevant department.

Authors who use a pen name to conceal their identity usually don't lie about academic affiliations, it's too risky and they can be easily called out on their lies. That's why i tend to believe that we are faced with an AI project. I have no idea who is behind it and the purpose of this operation. https://t.me/LauraRuHK/9759

⚡️ Despite Zelensky's public statement about the Russian-U.S. agreements reached in Riyadh on 24 March to stop attacks against civilian energy facilities, the Kiev regime has continued its strikes on the energy infrastructure of the Russian Federation.

On the night of 26 March 2025, near the Tarkhankut Peninsula, two Ukrainian strike UAVs were shot down by on-duty air defence systems. The drones were targeting the ground-based equipment of the Glebovskoye underground gas storage facility.

Moreover, on 26 March at around 4:45 in the morning, in Bryansk region, the hostile UAVs attacked an object of the Bryanskenergo (Rosseti Centre). As a result of the attack, a 10kV high-voltage electric power transmission stopped working and consumers in Komarichsky District were left without electricity.

Moreover, on the afternoon of 25 March, the Ukrainian strike drones attacked an energy facility of the Kurskenergo (Rosseti Centre). Thus, a number of substation shut down, and over 4,000 consumers in Khomutovsky District were cut off power supply.

❗️Thus, the Kiev regime, while continuing to damage the Russian civilian energy infrastructure, is actually doing everything it can to thwart the agreements reached by the Russian Federation and the United States on step-by-step measures to resolve the Ukrainian conflict.
