President Trump spoke to China's Xi about the ongoing tariff battle, claiming both nations are in an escalating tit-for-tat trade war. While China has denied formal negotiations, Trump is confident that a deal is imminent in the coming weeks. He indicated a "number" that would make China comfortable, but the tariffs continue to cause market uncertainty and global recession fears. With China offering exemptions for critical goods, businesses hope these measures will ease tensions and stabilize supply chains. But, Beijing is prepared for a long-term fight if necessary.

China’s state-sanctioned Catholic church has branded Pope Francis a “Western stooge” and criticized Vatican–Beijing agreements as threats to national sovereignty. Underground congregations are now pressing for unity despite strict party surveillance, while hardline officials accuse the late pontiff of meddling in Chinese religious policy. Human rights groups condemn the broader crackdown on Christians, even as experts like Michel Chambon praise Francis’s diplomatic reset with Beijing. With the next papal selection looming, Chinese Catholics face a pivotal choice between state control and underground solidarity.

President Trump signals a potential rollback of his steep China tariffs, saying they’ll “come down substantially, but won’t be zero.” His comments follow Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s prediction of a “de-escalation” in the trade war, calling current rates unsustainable. Trump imposed 145% tariffs on Chinese goods, prompting 125% retaliation from Beijing. As markets rebound and interest rate fears rise, insiders suggest change is coming—but Trump insists, “We’re doing fine with China.” Is a new phase of U.S.-China trade about to begin?
