Xi concludes Southeast Asia tour amid trade tensions

April 19, 2025

Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday completed a two-day state visit to Cambodia, capping a three-nation Southeast Asia tour promoting Beijing's reliability as the region faces economic uncertainty due to US President Donald Trump's tariff proposals.

China has been strongly increasing its influence in the region over the past decade, largely by exercising its substantial economic leverage.

Beijing is now presenting itself as a source of stability and certainty as Trump's tariffs threaten the region's export-oriented economies whose largest market is generally the United States.

Cambodia faces among the highest reciprocal tariff rates proposed by Washington. In addition to Trump's universal 10% tariff, it faces the threat of a 49% tariff on exports to the US once his 90day pause expires. For Vietnam, the tariff would be 46%, and for Malaysia, 24%.

Swiss seek recognition from UN as tradition turns modern

Yodel-ay-hee...what?! Those famed yodeling calls that for centuries have echoed through the Alps, and more recently have morphed into popular song and folk music, could soon reap a response - from faraway Paris. Switzerland’s government is looking for a shout-out from U.N. cultural agency UNESCO, based in the French capital, to include the tradition of yodeling on its list of intangible cultural heritage. A decision is expected by year-end. Modern-day promoters emphasize that the yodel is far more than the mountain cries of yesteryear by falsetto-bellowing male herders in suspenders who intone alongside giant alphorn instruments atop verdant hillsides. It’s now a popular form of singing.
