China's factory activity contraction eases after trade war truce
(Bloomberg) — China's factory activity contracted at a slower rate in May after a reprieve in the tariff war with the US unclogged trade flows, even as weak domestic demand continues to weigh on the economy. Billionaire Steve Cohen Wants NY to Expand Taxpayer-Backed Ferry Now With Colorful Blocks, Tirana's Pyramid Represents a Changing Albania NYC Congestion Toll Brings In $216 Million in First Four Months The Economic Benefits of Paying Workers to Move Where the Wild Children's Museums Are The official manufacturing purchasing managers' index was 49.5, versus 49 in April, the National Bureau of Statistics said Saturday. That matched the median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg. A reading below 50 indicates contraction. The non-manufacturing measure of activity in construction and services fell to 50.3 from 50.4 in April, the statistics office said. That compares with a forecast of 50.5. The composite index rose to 50.4. The PMI figures are the first official data available each month to provide a snapshot of the health of the Chinese economy. The latest readings capture the initial aftermath of the trade truce, after Beijing and Washington agreed to reduce tariffs for 90 days beginning May 14. The strength of manufacturing in the months ahead is still in question given an uncertain export outlook, and especially as tensions rise again in recent days with Washington. Although the US lowered the average rate of tariffs to roughly 40% following talks in Geneva, that level is still enough to reduce American imports from China by around 70% over the medium term, according to estimates from Bloomberg Economics. Even so, the reprieve on tariffs has sent trade between China and the US surging. Analysts surveyed by Bloomberg lifted forecasts for growth and exports this year following the agreement in Geneva, but still expect deflationary pressures to get worse in China, which has already seen economy-wide prices fall for two straight years. Gross domestic product is forecast to expand 4.5% this year, based on a Bloomberg survey conducted in late May, still significantly lower than the around 5% target set by Chinese policy makers. Economists expect exports will grow 1.1% in 2025 versus a year ago, an upgrade from the 1% contraction they expected in April. —With assistance from Zhang Dingmin.

Exclusive: Gus Poyet Sends Heartfelt Message to Sunderland Fans After Premier League Promotion
Sunderland's Premier League Return: Grit, Glory and a Hint of Destiny After years of heartbreak and near misses, Sunderland have finally clawed their way back to the Premier League, and few can argue they haven't earned it. Their dramatic 3-2 aggregate win over Frank Lampard's Coventry City, capped by a last-minute header from Dan Ballard, and the emotional Wembley finale against Sheffield United will go down as one of the most iconic play-off runs in history. Advertisement Former Black Cats boss Gus Poyet, speaking exclusively to EPL Index, captured just how much it means: 'It's massive for the city. If you live there and thankfully I had the chance to feel it, you really know how much it means for the fans. It's tremendous.' Photo: IMAGO Grit Over Glamour This wasn't a campaign defined by heaps of free-flowing football or dazzling individual brilliance. What got Sunderland over the line was sheer tenacity. In fact, Poyet himself noted: 'They've done it without playing fantastic and sometimes that's what you need, to play ugly and win. That's your best chance going into the Premier League.' Advertisement And he's right. That Ballard header in the dying seconds of the semi-final wasn't just about timing – it was about belief. Similarly, in the final, Eliezer Mayenda's equaliser and Tommy Watson's stoppage-time winner were less about dominance and more about moments. The kind of moments that define seasons. Photo: IMAGO Destiny Fulfilled There's something poetic about the way this promotion played out. As Poyet observed, 'I think it was their time and sometimes destiny is there. In previous years they were close but they probably weren't ready.' This time, they were ready. Mentally, physically, emotionally. Sunderland showed a maturity and resilience they previously lacked. No collapse, no self-sabotage. Just belief and focus when it mattered most. Advertisement Even in a final where Sheffield United were tipped as favourites, it was Sunderland who came through. As Poyet bluntly put it, 'When you win a final and the man of the match is the goalkeeper, then perhaps you don't deserve it but Sheffield United were always the favourites. It's a way of winning.' Indeed, it is. It's football. And football doesn't always reward the prettiest side. Sometimes, it rewards the hungriest. Poyet's Message to the Fans No one deserves this more than the Sunderland fans. After the despair of back-to-back relegations and years stuck in League One, this promotion is a seismic moment. It brings with it not just financial reward, but the opportunity to once again rub shoulders with the best in English football. Advertisement Poyet's message to the fans is as heartfelt as it is timely: 'Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy it as much as you can. Support the team and the coach.' He continues, 'It's going to be the same coach and they know that things can change very quickly and they need to be the extra man to help their club stay in the Premier League. They'll need you.' It's a clear reminder. The job isn't done. Survival in the top flight will require even more grit, more spirit – and above all, unity between players, manager, and fans. But for now, as Poyet urges, it's time to enjoy. Building on a New Identity Sunderland's recent success isn't a fluke. It stems from a refreshed club philosophy, a core of exciting young talent, and a fanbase that never gave up. Tommy Watson's fairy-tale winner at Wembley was more than a goal – it was a symbol of what Sunderland are becoming. A team built on belief, built on community, and finally, built for the Premier League.

The rare minerals battle behind Rubio's ban on Chinese students
When Secretary of State Marco Rubio abruptly announced plans Wednesday to cancel the visas of all Chinese students in the U.S., the Trump administration was quick to cast it as a way to root out spies from the communist nation. But behind the scenes, what really set off Rubio was the administration's realization that China was withholding precious rare-earth minerals and magnets as a tariff negotiating tool, sources tell Axios. Why it matters: The decision to target as many as 280,000 Chinese students — and throw another complication into the ongoing trade talks with China — reflects how crucial rare minerals are to the U.S. tech industry. It also signaled how angry President Trump was after deciding China was operating in bad faith. Zoom in: That's what inspired Trump's Truth Social post on Friday: "China, perhaps not surprisingly to some, HAS TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT WITH US." "So much for being Mr. NICE GUY!" Zoom in: The materials at issue are crucial for computing and telecom equipment, F-35 fighter jets, drones, submarines and the Joint Direct Attack Munition series of smart bombs. The seven minerals include samarium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, lutetium, scandium, and yttrium-related items. Zoom out: Under President Xi Jinping 's "Made in China 2025" initiative launched a decade ago, China has come to dominate the mining and processing of these minerals and other precious materials, such as lithium used in batteries. The U.S. is the world's second-largest producer of rare-earth minerals but is dwarfed by China, which controls about 70% of mining and roughly 90% of the processing of such minerals globally, according to a Reuters report citing International Energy Agency estimates. The big picture: Many of China's ruling party elite, including Xi, have sent their children to study in the United States. Targeting those students sends a message to leaders of the Chinese Communist Party. Rubio has long been a China hawk. As a senator in 2024, he issued a report, "The World China Made," that warned it could soon have "effective control over strategic supply chains" of the materials. He also sounded an alarm about China spying through U.S. educational opportunities. "If you're a Chinese spy trying to get into America, you don't really have to cross the border," he told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo in June 2024. "You can just become a graduate student at one of our universities or become a visa employee at one of our tech companies." As secretary of state, Rubio has launched several initiatives to monitor and revoke the visas of foreign students. What they're saying: Education groups criticized Rubio's move. Asian Americans Advancing Justice said that "national security should undeniably be a top priority — but resorting to fearmongering, racial profiling, and xenophobia is never the answer." Trump's administration unapologetically sees Chinese students as leverage. "This is about national security, trade, our economy," a senior administration official said. "Everything is a negotiation." The timeline: Trump launched his latest trade and tariff war on April 2, calling it "Liberation Day. Two days later, China required that companies receive export licenses for the seven minerals. The licenses restrict the flow of the minerals out of the country. On May 11, the U.S. and China announced a preliminary trade deal. The two sides paused their retaliatory tariffs. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer negotiated for the U.S. On May 12, when asked by Fox News' Laura Ingraham whether rare-earth export restrictions had been lifted, Greer said: "Yep. The Chinese have agreed to remove those countermeasures." But on May 20, CNN confirmed reporting from other publications that China wasn't "getting rid of its controls over rare earths," despite the trade truce. The reports confirmed what administration officials had encountered in private talks with China: It was playing rare-earth hardball. "China cheats. It's what they do," Trump said, according to a White House official briefed on the president's comments in a subsequent meeting with his trade team. "The president wasn't happy," the official said. "He was looking for ideas, and Rubio had this idea of Chinese students." In a statement to Axios, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Rubio "made this decision in the administration's ongoing effort to protect our homeland from espionage and other hostile actions." Just before 7 p.m. Wednesday, Rubio announced on X that the "U.S. will begin revoking visas of Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields." About that time, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick informed several U.S. companies they needed to limit or stop exporting certain types of software, semiconductor chemicals, machine tools, aviation equipment, butane and ethane, according to Reuters. On Thursday, Bessent acknowledged on Fox News that trade negotiations "are a bit stalled." On Friday, Trump followed up with his statement blasting China. Hours later Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller was on CNN, linking Rubio's announcement to the China trade talks.
