12.04.2025 ⇢ Tariff Retreat Day Through Wind Warnings
⌹Trump indicated willingness to reach a trade agreement with China and hasn't ruled out postponing tariffs, marking a potential softening in his stance after days of escalation. Chinese media kept focus on Xi's upcoming Southeast Asian tour (April 14-18), continuing the regional diplomacy strategy established earlier in the week.

By mid-morning, severe weather emerged as Beijing issued multiple warnings as gale-force winds swept northern China, prompting millions to stay home - a rare disruption overshadowing trade tensions. Xi's meeting with Spanish PM Sanchez emphasized the need to "safeguard free trade," reinforcing China's trade stance.

By afternoon, state media pivoted to economic messaging about "strengthening domestic demand as the main engine" - signaling China's continued strategy of reducing external dependency amid trade uncertainty. Trump's exemption of smartphones, chips, and electronics from tariffs late in the day suggested further de-escalation.
