Listen Later


The trade war just escalated ⚔️.


In this second episode of Tariffed World: The New Rules of Global Trade,

we dive deep into the intensifying U.S.–China conflict and the global shockwaves it’s sending across supply chains, markets, and diplomacy.


On April 10, 2025, former President Trump raised tariffs on Chinese imports to 125%, triggering a fierce counterattack from Beijing 🇨🇳:

  • 84% tariffs on U.S. goods
  • Rare earth export controls
  • Blacklisted American firms
  • A digital yuan trade expansion
  • Domestic stimulus through China's new Economic Resilience Initiative


  • Meanwhile, other nations scrambled to respond—from Canada and Mexico to France, India, Japan, and even Saudi Arabia.

    We unpack:

    🌐 The strategic motives behind the escalation

    📉 Market reactions and corporate disruption

    🛰️ China's pivot toward Belt and Road, and the dollar's digital challenger

    🤝 Global repositioning and diplomacy in flux

    This isn’t just a trade spat—it’s a defining moment in 21st-century geopolitics.

    Tune in for the global view 🌍.
