By: Lincoln Humphries, CGTN anchor We’re living in a time of tit-for-tat tariffs, and consumer products are likely to feel the sharpest pinch. This year’s China International Consumer Products Expo couldn’t have come at a more critical geoeconomic time. Just as the inflation beast that was ravaging the world’s largest economies was seemingly tamed, tarrifs are unravelling trade multilateralism into protectionism, threatening to hike prices on everything from the farm gate, to factory floor – from high fashion to food.

By: Moiz Farooq Executive Editor, Pakistan Economic Net and Daily Ittehad Media Group In the ever-evolving landscape of global trade, the United States continues to rely on unpredictability and pressure tactics as core components of its foreign economic policy. The recent developments surrounding U.S. tariff negotiations have once again exposed Washington’s approach — using economic might not for creating partnerships but for extracting concessions and asserting dominance. During a recent White House meeting, then-President Donald Trump made headlines by announcing a 90-day suspension of certain tariffs on multiple countries, while maintaining a so-called “baseline tariff” of 10%. Yet, in the…

By : Xinhua writer Shi Xiaomeng When To Lam made his first visit to China as Vietnam’s top leader in August last year, he started the trip not in Beijing but in the southern metropolis of Guangzhou — a special arrangement Chinese President Xi Jinping later hailed as “quite meaningful.” It was in Guangzhou, a century earlier, that Ho Chi Minh, the late Vietnamese leader, began his revolutionary activities in China, a period of history Xi described as “a shared red memory” between the two countries’ ruling parties.
