18.04.2025 ⇢ Port Fees Through Silver Trains
⌹Xi Jinping's return to Beijing after his Southeast Asian diplomacy tour dominated morning coverage, with state media emphasizing the "all-weather community with shared future" established with Cambodia. The day's economic focus shifted to US-China trade tensions as Trump announced steep port fees targeting Chinese vessels - a measure described as more moderate than February's proposal but still escalatory.

The "Silver Train" initiative emerged as China's domestic response to tariffs, mobilizing retirees to boost consumption. Trump expressed optimism about reaching deals with both Europe and China, despite mounting tensions. A reported brain drain continued with DOE scientist Yi Shouliang relocating to China.

Other significant developments included Zelenskyy's first direct accusation of China providing military aid to Russia, China unveiling the world's fastest hard drive, and a controversy involving Shenyang anti-drug police allegedly smuggling narcotics.
