In today's episode, we explore China's preparation for a pivotal Communist Party meeting to outline its next major economic and political blueprint, focusing on national security and technological self-reliance. We also delve into the recent trade truce between China and the United States, which temporarily eases escalating tensions with significant tariff reductions. Additionally, we discuss China's expansion of the Unreliable Entity List, targeting firms complying with U.S. regulations, and its implications for global trade. Join us for an in-depth analysis of these critical developments and their potential impact on the global stage.
