US intel report names China, India as enablers of illicit Fentanyl drug production
Wednesday, 26 March 2025 The United States' ATA report identifies China and India as key suppliers of precursor chemicals for illicit fentanyl. China remains the primary source, with India following. Diplomatic tensions rise as the U.S. imposes tariffs on Chinese imports, citing Beijing's failure to regulate shipments contributing to the fentanyl crisis.
China’s newest warship Qinzhou has completed a dramatic live-fire drill just days after joining the PLA Navy’s Southern Theater Command. The stealth frigate Type 054B, hull number 555, was seen in state media footage sinking a target using its main gun and close-in weapon system. This marks Beijing’s bold push to expand naval dominance in disputed waters. As tensions rise, military analysts say the ship’s firepower and far-seas capabilities fit China’s long-term strategy to control critical trade routes and deter rivals in the South China Sea.

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has ridiculed Donald Trump's aggressive tariff strategy against China, claiming it backfired. As U.S. allies suffer under Trump's trade policies, Medvedev insists China’s vast resources make it immune to such pressure. In a sarcastic post, he labeled the tariff war as a major Trump “blunder” and mocked America's allies for being forced to comply. China's fierce response underscores the deepening global economic divide. Meanwhile, Trump's approval ratings face new lows as the "deep state" reportedly resists his moves. Is the trade war really working?

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent declined to confirm direct tariff negotiations with China, suggesting that Beijing faces severe economic fallout if current trade barriers persist. Speaking to reporters, Bessent cited potential Chinese job losses in the millions and argued that the U.S. trade deficit puts pressure on China to act. While avoiding specifics on communications, he hinted at the unsustainable nature of China’s tariff stance. Beijing denies ongoing talks. The standoff continues, clouded by diplomatic silence and sharp warnings of economic instability from Washington.
