China Taps Korean War and AI Memes to Hit Back at Trump By Joe Cash BEIJING (Reuters) -China is leveraging its propaganda machine to hit back at U.S. tariffs, rolling out videos using Cold War imagery to lambaste "imperialists" and send a simple message - capitulation to bullies is dangerous,

The economy shrank in the first quarter, weighed down by a deluge of goods imported by businesses eager to avoid higher costs, underscoring the disruptive nature of Trump's often chaotic tariff policy.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday said the contraction in the U.S. economy had nothing to do with his tariff wars and predicted the economy would boom when tariffs kicked in.
