A Sierra Leone-flagged dredger collided with a Marshall Islands-flagged fuel tanker off Corregidor Island in the Philippines. After the accident, the dredger capsized. The Philippines Coast Guard reported that a Chinese employee among the 20 crew on the dredger was killed and another missing. The search for the missing crew continues with an air and sea operation.
China has imposed a 34% customs duty on all US goods in response to the same rate announced by US President Donald Trump. The move includes trade restrictions on rare earth exports critical to tech and defense industries and the suspension of chicken imports from two US firms.
China also blacklisted 11 American companies, including major defense and tech firms, banning them from trade with Chinese entities. Additionally, China filed a complaint at the World Trade Organization, calling the US tariffs a violation of global trade rules and an act of “unilateral bullying.”
