US-China trade talks: why Beijing unexpectedly emerged in a stronger position
Trade relations between China and the United States remain mired in uncertainty after two days of tense negotiations in Sweden earlier this week. But Beijing may actually have emerged in a stronger position as Washington continues to raise tariffs on other global economies, analysts said. A third round of US-China trade talks in Stockholm ended on Tuesday with China announcing that both sides had agreed to extend their 'tariff truce' by another 90 days, while the US side insisted the deal was still pending US President Donald Trump's final approval. That means, if nothing unexpected happens, the US will continue to impose 30 per cent additional tariffs on China after August 12, when the original truce is due to expire. The rate includes 20 per cent of duties Trump announced in the first quarter of the year, which were related to China's role in the fentanyl trade, and another 10 per cent levy imposed in April. But in relative terms, China's tariff rate is starting to look less damaging, as the US moves to impose higher rates on a slew of major trading partners before an August 1 deadline set by Trump. The gap between tariffs on China and various Southeast Asian nations is reducing fast Amitendu Palit, researcher 'It is interesting that the gap between tariffs on China and various Southeast Asian nations is reducing fast,' said Amitendu Palit, senior research fellow at the Institute of South Asian Studies at the National University of Singapore.

Europe being run into the ground by amateurs and ideologues
The European Union is determined to talk down to China from a position of considerable weakness. The result has been a prematurely concluded summit in Beijing with nothing to show for it other than a standard statement on climate cooperation. Advertisement At the same time, it has literally cried 'daddy' by accepting 15 per cent tariffs on exports to the United States after Donald Trump threatened to slap the bloc with duties of up to 50 per cent. No wonder many European politicians openly complain that Brussels has effectively capitulated. The deal is even worse than the 10 per cent tariffs placed on British exports. London is now boasting about Brexit. French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou tweeted on X: 'It is a dark day when an alliance of free peoples, united to affirm their values and defend their interests, resolves to submission.' German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the deal would cause 'considerable damage' to all parties concerned. 'Not only will there be a higher inflation rate, but it will also affect transatlantic trade overall,' he said. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban called Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission president, a 'featherweight' who had been 'eaten for breakfast' by the Americans. Advertisement Given the challenges from Washington, you might think Brussels would have seized the occasion to expand trade opportunities with China. No, not really. Before her underwhelming trip to Beijing, von der Leyen and her even lighter-weight deputy, the EU foreign minister Kaja Kallas, continued to talk down to China for supposedly propping up Russia. The reality is that the combined resources of the EU and the US still can't prop up Ukraine.
