04.04.2025 ⇢ Tariff Retaliation Day Through Qingming Hero Narratives
⌹China announced 34% retaliatory tariffs on all US imports effective April 10, escalating the trade conflict sparked by Trump's recent tariff announcements. This direct response represents a significant intensification from the previous day's warnings of countermeasures.

Throughout the day, state media continued coordinated messaging tied to Qingming Festival (Tomb Sweeping Day), with identical articles about "heroic spirits" and commemorating revolutionary martyrs published simultaneously across multiple outlets. These narratives build on previous days' synchronized propaganda about tree planting and Xi's "Beautiful China" ecological vision.

The South Korean constitutional court's unanimous decision to remove President Yoon Suk-yeol from office received significant coverage, marking South Korea's second presidential impeachment.

BBC Chinese continued reporting on workplace "involution" in China, noting the contradiction between official anti-overwork rhetoric and the continuing overtime culture in competitive industries.
