China-US Tariffs War: Trump Pauses Tariffs Amid Global Uncertainty

Live TV interview on 10 April 2025 with NewsX, India's fastest growing English-language global TV news channel claiming 100 million viewers. 

American "TikTok refugee" folk song on heart-warming exchanges

Threatened by America’s impending ban, later stayed by President Trump, millions of American ardent TikTok supporters have fled to China’s ubiquitous Xiaohongshu (known as RedNote), China's hugely popular "Instagram" until now populated virtually entirely by China's young generation.

This has prompted numerous person-to-person, heart-to-heart bilingual outpourings between young peoples across the cultural and ideological divide, with many a tear-jerking epiphany moment. A new America-composed folk song captures the spirit of the moment. Download American folk song on Xiaohongshu 

So far separated by anti-China rhetoric, the gulf  between China's youths and their Western counterparts with similar lifestyles and hobbies is poised to be breached  by a wave of migration to Xiaohongshu.  This should help usher in a new phase of more positive people-to-people exchanges, paving the way for better international relations. 

This adds impetus to a rising tide of people-to-people exchanges following China’s unilateral visa-free treatment to 38 European countries: namely, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Malaysia, Switzerland, Ireland, Hungary, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Australia, Poland, Portugal, Greece, Cyprus, Slovenia, Slovakia, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Andorra, Monaco, Liechtenstein, Republic of Korea, Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Malta, Estonia, Latvia, Japan and Negara Brunei Darussalam.

Momentum is building up to reach President Xi’s target of bringing 50,000 young Americans to China over the next five years for study and exchange programmes by way of improving ties.   

Hong Kong plays key role in national development

Exclusive interview on RTHK (Radio Television Hong Kong) aired on 30 September 2024.

Andrew's October 2024 Newsletter

(My quarterly Newsletters go out to some 8,000 professional contacts worldwide. The following is my October 2024 issue. Back numbers may be accessed under What is New on my website.)

Greetings! I hope you have had a rewarding and enjoyable summer! 

Barring uncertain outcome of the U.S. Election, American foreign policy continues to be dictated by chauvinistic hubris and political correctness borne of decades of American primacy and exceptionalism. This translates into an obsession with shaping the world in America's own image and bending countries to suit American interests, at the expense of balkanizing the world into divided camps. China, America's perceived primary "challenger", remains the elephant in the room.  

The jury is still out on how best the United States should respond to an overhyped "existential threat" from China, how it could realize sustainable peace in the Middle East, and what role it should play to resolve the bloody Russia-Ukraine connundrum for a more peaceful Europe. 

Serial U.S. proactive actions or measures, whether sanctions or shuttle diplomacy, seem to be running around in circles, talking past opposite numbers, if not tilting at windmills, while humanitarian crises deepen in war zones and disruptions continue to degrade livelihoods across the globe.

Absent cool-headed analysis of viable and sustainable endgames, confrontation hardly equates to credible strategy. Apart from the scale and dimension of China's rise including the best support of its people, we now live in a very different and closely-connected world, driven by the digital Fourth and Fifth Industrial Revolutions, rampant pandemics, and  multifacted impacts of quickening Climate Change.

The following may hopefully offer some different perspectives, if not practical insights for making the world a better place.

Andrew's July 2024 Newsletter

(My quarterly Newsletters go out to some 8,000 professional contacts worldwide. The following is my July 2024 issue. Back numbers may be accessed under What is New on my website.)

Greetings! May I first wish you and family a most prosperous and rewarding summer!

Electoral dynamics are mutating in many countries, not least the United States, the United Kingdom and France, tilting towards right-wing nationalism, xenophobia, and isolationism. These are now mixed with momentous repercussions to the global order with intensifying Great Power rivalry, a protracted Ukraine War, and a catastrophic Israel-Hamas conflict. These challenges, perhaps "not seen for a hundred years", are taxing countries' ability to transcend short-termism and self-denial. 

Meanwhile, the digital, technological, and borderless Fourth and Fifth Industrial Revolutions are transforming how people live and work, how businesses are conducted, how deep reaches on the planet and outer space may be explored, how wars are fought, and how nations interact and defend themselves. Concurrently, common challenges of Climate Change, mutating pandemics and nuclear proliferation are pushing nations closer together. 

Hopefully the following may offer some useful perspectives.

Andrew's April 2024 Newsletter

(My quarterly Newsletters go out to some 8,000 professional contacts worldwide. The following is my April 2024 issue. Back numbers may be accessed under What is New on my website.)

Greetings! May I first wish you a forthcoming glorious summer! 

The world is at a rare inflexion point.  As many as 64 countries plus the European Union are having leadership elections this year, covering half of the world population and including those, like the U.S. and EU, of global consequence.

The U.S. is finding both feet stuck in deep mud over Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas conflict with humunitarian disasters of biblical proportions.  The EU is struggling to cope with both a much-weakened economy and the looming prospects of an unpredictable second Trump-adminstration.

China has re-emerged from the economic ravages of a historically severe pandemic. It is beginning to,find its feet in a world economy transformed by the Fourth and Fifth Industrial Revolutions of borderless digitital connectivity. Howewver, the US-let Western camp is doubling down on anti-China "de-risking" or decoupling, friendly rhetoric and diplomatic overtures notwithstanding.  

Amidst the smoke and mirrors of this uncertain year, the following may hopefully offer some fresh food for thought.
