Trump’s trade war olive branch met with derision and mistrust inside China
HONG KONG — US President Donald Trump has delighted global investors with the possibility of a reduction in tariffs on Chinese imports. But his apparent willingness to de-escalate America’s trade war with the world’s second-biggest economy has been brushed off by government officials in China and ridiculed online as “chickening out.”On Tuesday, Trump told reporters at the Oval Office the astronomical tariffs on Chinese goods will “come down substantially.” He even promised to eschew hardball tactics, vowing to be “very nice” at the negotiating table and pledged not to mention the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic.But Beijing has remained unmoved by the overtures. Instead, it has demanded Trump remove all tariffs on China.“As the saying goes, ‘He who tied the bell must...

HONG KONG — A Pakistani astronaut will become the first foreign national aboard China’s Tiangong space station, as Beijing steps up space diplomacy amid a burgeoning battle with the United States for supremacy in orbit.The mission of the Pakistani astronaut – who is yet to be selected – tightens already close space ties between Beijing and Islamabad.

Since it started operating in 2021, it has only hosted Chinese astronauts.The mission is “a significant step in the...
