How will the Pentagon’s expanded blacklist of Chinese firms affect Xi’s US visit?

The Pentagon’s newly expanded blacklist of Chinese military-linked companies has tested the fragile stability reached at last month’s summit, highlighting that intense competition persists despite recent efforts to ease bilateral tensions. On Monday, the US Defence Department released its updated Section 1260H list as required by American law, expanding the roster to 188 entities, up from 134 last year. Many of China’s technology and industrial giants were targeted. E-commerce giant Alibaba,...

Washington Walks a Tightrope After Striking Iran

The US strikes on Iranian air defense and radar systems appear intended as a limited warning to Tehran rather than the opening salvo of a broader military campaign, according to senior US officials and regional security experts. The attacks targeted several Iranian air defense and radar systems, with another US official telling RFE/RL that the operation was "ongoing" and focused on air defenses and radar installations. Iranian state media reported explosions in several locations across Hormozgan

US firms pay price for Trump’s China tariffs, export controls, study finds

The Trump administration’s export controls, sanctions and tariffs are hurting American firms in China without achieving their policy goals of blocking critical technology or reviving US manufacturing, according to a new business survey. “US export controls are not calibrated to empower American companies … Instead, they are forcing buyers to go elsewhere,” the US-China Business Council said on Wednesday, releasing the results of its annual member survey. “Export controls are less effective when.

Why I think Berkshire Hathaway is the best investment right now

Disclaimer: I just bought BRK.B so my analysis may be biased. Data sourced from Tradingview, Xfinlink and FRED. This article is not meant to be financial advice, DYOR. tldr; US debt is too big for the old "print and normalize later" playbook, so the next crisis likely gets solved the British way: rates below inflation for years, bondholders eat the loss. In that world real assets win. BRK is the cleanest way to play it: $300B cash hedge, insurance float leverage, railroad/utilities/energy, plus

How drones, tariffs and rare earths could test US-China detente

The post-summit detente between Washington and Beijing has moved from diplomatic language to institutional design. Less than three weeks after the summit between President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump, the US Trade Representative (USTR) asked companies to identify “non-sensitive” Chinese goods that might qualify for tariff relief under a new US-China Board of Trade. On the same day, the USTR also proposed Section 301 duties on imports from 60 economies, including China, after its...

US midterms could bring ‘renewed volatility’ to China ties, veteran diplomat warns

If the Democrats win control of Congress in America’s midterm elections it could bring “renewed volatility” to relations with China, a veteran Chinese diplomat has warned. “The results [of the 2026 midterms] … are likely to have a profound impact on the stability of China-US relations,” said Bian Qingzu, former secretary general of the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries.

The strikes damaged two reservoirs supplying the Bemani and Kouhestak areas of Sirik...

EU threat of trade war against China is a strategic farce

The European Commission has declared its trade and economic relationship with China “unsustainable”, pointing to a daily trade deficit of €1 billion (US$1.16 billion) and Chinese manufacturing overcapacity that puts millions of jobs across various sectors at risk. However, a clear-eyed analysis reveals this premise to be entirely flawed. The narrative spun by Brussels is a desperate attempt to weaponise trade policy to mask structural, self-inflicted failures. To understand the absurdity of the.
