US-China rivalry is morphing into a multifront war with no easy way out
In a stark turn of events, US President Donald Trump has accused China of 'totally violating' the Geneva trade agreement. The May 12 deal, which slashed US tariffs on Chinese imports from 145 per cent to 30 per cent and Chinese tariffs on US goods from 125 per cent to 10 per cent, was touted by Trump as a triumph of American diplomacy. Within weeks, however, Trump reversed course, his administration accusing China of failing to resume rare earth exports as promised. Beijing vehemently denies any breach of the Geneva consensus. This erratic shift highlights the fragility of US-China negotiations and signals a new era of entrenched confrontation, with tensions spilling into technology, education and defence. Trump's initial gambit – framing the Geneva pact as a magnanimous rescue for China's 'collapsing' economy – quickly unravelled. His assertion that China reneged on the Geneva commitments ignored a hard truth: Beijing holds unmatched leverage over minerals critical to industries from renewable energy to consumer electronics. US businesses, still grappling with inflation and supply chain fragility, face existential risks if China's retaliation continues. Trump's abrupt pivot – from bully to victim – masks a deeper reality: America's economic vulnerabilities leave it with few credible carrots or sticks. Even as Trump claimed victory, his administration escalated hostilities. Days after the Geneva agreement, the US imposed sweeping export controls on advanced chip-design software, including on companies like Cadence Design Systems and Synopsys. These restrictions aim to cripple China's semiconductor sector and undercut the deal's spirit of reciprocity.

Beijing's point man overseeing Hong Kong affairs ‘set to visit city in mid-June'
Beijing's point man overseeing Hong Kong affairs is set to visit the city later this month as it marks the fifth anniversary of the imposition of the national security law and he will speak on the occasion, the Post has learned. Advertisement Sources told the Post that Xia Baolong, director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office (HKMAO), was planning a visit to the city and was likely to attend a national security legal forum organised by the Department of Justice and scheduled for June 21. 'The authorities have been working on Xia's itinerary. An option is to inspect the progress of the Northern Metropolis, ' an insider said on Tuesday, referring to the megadevelopment which involves turning 30,000 hectares of land near the city's border with mainland China into an economic powerhouse and a housing hub. Xia's scheduled visit will come three weeks after Beijing appointed Zhou Ji as the new director of its liaison office in Hong Kong, replacing Zheng Yanxiong who was in the role for 2½ years, with analysts deeming the reshuffle a sign of shifting priorities to focus more on economic development amid a challenging geopolitical environment.

China stocks benefit from shift away from US assets; second-half outlook cloudy: Natixis
China's equity markets are benefiting from a global shift away from US assets, though the outlook for the second half of 2025 is clouded by signs of a structural economic slowdown, persistent deflationary pressure and worries about an underwhelming policy stance from Beijing, according to strategists. In spite of elevated political and economic uncertainties, the probability of a global recession remained low, Natixis Investment Managers said on Tuesday. But the firm was cautiously optimistic about Chinese equities in the latter half of the year. 'The markets and investors are awaiting the second leg [of the stimulus policies], which is the fiscal policy … but we do not expect a massive or significant turn in China that will support internal demand,' he said. Chetouane said deflationary pressure was a core concern. 'Without inflation, companies struggle to protect their margins or deliver earnings growth, and the market is waiting for a green light from Beijing,' he said.
