Breitbart: Self Own: China Taunts Americans with AI-Generated Videos of How Awful Chinese Sweatshops Are
The Chinese Communist Party has released AI-generated videos portraying Americans as overweight workers in sweatshops, coinciding with President Trump's tariffs on China. This move inadvertently highlights China's own labor conditions, where workers endure long hours and low wages.
The videos, which include depictions of American icons, suggest a narrative that contrasts American consumerism with Chinese labor practices. This tactic follows China's previous acknowledgment of its use of forced labor in Xinjiang.

The Western Journal: China Admitted Beijing Is Behind Cyberattacks on US Infrastructure, Biden Admin Kept It Quiet: Report
A Wall Street Journal report reveals that during a December meeting, a Chinese cyber official indicated that cyberattacks on U.S. infrastructure were orchestrated by the Chinese government in response to U.S. military support for Taiwan.

Breitbart: iPanic: Apple Airlifts 600 Tons of iPhones to U.S. to Avoid Impending Tariff Hikes
Apple has airshipped 600 tons of iPhones from India to the U.S. to circumvent tariffs imposed by Donald Trump. Since March, the company has expedited the shipment of 1.5 million iPhones, working to avoid price increases in the U.S. market as global tech supply chains face challenges.
Other tech firms, including Dell and Microsoft, are also adapting to the tariff situation, with some shifting production strategies and increasing air shipments of high-priced electronics. The urgency reflects the broader impact of tariff hikes on the tech industry.
Forbes: These Were The Best (And Worst) Stocks To Own As Trump’s Tariffs Shuffled Markets
Since President Trump's tariff announcement on April 2, the stock market has experienced significant volatility, with a 6% loss in the S&P 500 over seven trading sessions. Most stocks have declined, but healthcare and certain retail stocks have shown resilience amid economic uncertainty.
The tech sector, particularly Apple and Tesla, has suffered notable losses due to reliance on Chinese revenue. Analysts suggest that ongoing trade tensions and economic challenges are contributing to the market's instability, marking April as one of the most volatile months in recent history.
Breitbart: China Raises Tariffs to 125%, Prepares to Flood the World with Cheap Exports
China has raised its tariffs on U.S. imports to 125% in response to President Trump's recent tariff increases, which now total an effective rate of 145%. The Chinese Finance Ministry criticized the U.S. actions as unilateral bullying and announced plans to offload excess goods through cheap exports to other markets.
Despite claims of finding alternative buyers, the scale of U.S.-China trade makes it unlikely that other markets can absorb the surplus. Analysts express skepticism about China's ability to stimulate its economy amid tariff pressures, and there are concerns that flooding other markets with low-quality goods could lead to retaliatory measures.
