The illusion of progress in US-China tariff talks — why the pause is not a reset
Many Chinese workers may not realise the origin of their standard five-day, 40-hour work week. Before 1995, workers in China only had one day off per week. Weekends, as they are understood today, simply didn't exist for the 1.2 billion Chinese population. That changed when then-premier Li Peng issued a directive to align China's labour standards with international norms, facilitating its bid to join the World Trade Organization (WTO). The policy shift marked a significant change in everyday life — an early and powerful example of how the Chinese government can reshape the rhythm of society overnight to serve strategic goals. It symbolised Beijing's willingness to use its power to change the lifestyle of everyone in the country, as one of the outcomes of its 15-year negotiation with the United States. The breakthrough of the working-hour system in China not just enhanced Beijing's will to open its door to the global market. It was a symbol of adaptation — a gesture to a rules-based global economy. But it also laid the foundations for today's differences with the US — tensions rooted in structural mismatches over trade, regulation and state power. While the 90-day tariff truce between China and the US is seen as a relief and an optimistic message for the world, at the heart of the stand-off is a clash between fundamentally different systems. The US increasingly views trade policy through a national security lens, aiming to reduce dependency on foreign supply chains, particularly those involving China. Conversely, China remains committed to a model of state-led capitalism that prioritises global manufacturing dominance. What's unfolding now is not a negotiation between equals, but a contest over who sets the rules — and whose system can withstand the pressure. It's a clash of Xi Jinping's Chinese Dream and Donald Trump's America First. Trade is no longer just about economics for the US — it has become a central part of its national security strategy. The supply chain crisis during the COVID-19 pandemic exposed the fragility of relying on a single country — particularly China — for critical goods like pharmaceuticals and medical equipment. In response, Washington has moved aggressively to "de-risk" and re-shore industries deemed strategic, including semiconductors, rare earths, and clean energy components. The Biden administration's CHIPS and Science Act and Inflation Reduction Act are designed with this in mind: to reduce reliance on Chinese supply chains and invest in domestic capacity. The logic is straightforward — if a geopolitical rival controls your access to essential goods, your security is compromised. That logic now underpins bipartisan consensus in Washington. The Pentagon, the Commerce Department, and even Treasury are aligned in this approach. Meanwhile, China continues to rely on the US to maintain its global trade dominance. The US remains one of China's largest export markets. Access to the US not only brings revenue but also legitimises China's role in global commerce. Since joining the WTO in 2001, China has used its manufacturing strength to climb the value chain, becoming the world's factory. But with that rise has come growing scrutiny. At the core of the issue is how China uses its state apparatus to direct entire industries. The Party can create a sector seemingly overnight — from solar panels to electric vehicles — through massive subsidies, cheap land, tax incentives, and government procurement. The solar industry is one of the starkest examples. In the early 2000s, Beijing picked it as a strategic priority. Within years, Chinese firms, backed by billions in subsidies, flooded the global market with low-cost panels, undercutting foreign competitors and forcing several Western manufacturers into bankruptcy. The same playbook is now being applied to electric vehicles and battery technology. But the Chinese system doesn't just build industries — it can also destroy them. Once state subsidies are withdrawn or redirected, whole sectors can collapse. For domestic and international players alike, the uncertainty generated by this top-down industrial policy is a risk. This dynamic — of building with the state and eroding competition through state support — has angered not only the US, but also the EU, Canada, and others. The US has long accused China of failing to fulfil its WTO commitments. These include promises to reduce subsidies, increase market access, and protect intellectual property. However, over the years, Beijing has doubled down on support for state-owned and strategically chosen enterprises. Despite entering the WTO as a developing country, China now dominates sectors it once pledged to liberalise. In areas like digital trade and cloud services, the barriers to foreign firms remain high, while Chinese companies enjoy global access and home-market protection. For Washington, this is no longer just about economics — it's about rules, reciprocity, and the contract of trust. Trade deficits can be tolerated; systemic manipulation cannot. That's why, even with a temporary tariff easing, the tone in Washington remains sceptical. The current round of tariffs is broader than the last. "Firstly, to prevent China from rerouting exports through third countries into the US. "Secondly, this is no longer just economic competition — it's a mix of economic and national security concerns. Ultimately, it's about who controls the supply chains." On the Chinese side, there is deep resistance to changing course. Under Xi Jinping, the role of the Party in economic life has only strengthened. Private firms are now expected to align with state goals. National champions like Huawei and BYD are not just businesses — they are arms of Beijing's broader global ambition. The Belt and Road Initiative, too, is part of this strategy: to shape global economic flows in ways that favour Beijing's economic influence and geopolitical leadership. So while China wants access to the US market to maintain growth, legitimacy, and influence, it's unwilling to concede control. The ideological difference is stark. In the West, competition is seen as a process governed by rules and independent oversight. In China, the outcome — national strength — justifies the means. "China should stop giving companies excessive subsidies. Its economic policy is not built on a fair system — but on doing whatever it takes to crush competitors. "The US should focus on the fiscal deficit and public debt. Even after the 90-day truce ends, major structural issues will remain." Even within the Asia-Pacific, this tension is playing out. Countries like Japan, Indonesia and Malaysia, which once emulated aspects of China's state-driven model, are increasingly distancing themselves. As their economies mature, they recognise the need to reduce market distortions and avoid over-reliance on a single dominant player. This growing scepticism toward China's approach reflects a broader unease in the region. In this context, the 90-day pause looks less like a breakthrough and more like a holding pattern. It buys time — politically useful for both Trump and Xi, given the domestic pressures. But it postpones rather than resolves the conflict. For Australia, this presents both risks and opportunities. The trade relationship with China is strong, largely due to complementary rather than competitive industries. But Canberra faces a strategic dilemma. Economically, it can benefit from global supply chain shifts and Chinese demand. Politically and militarily, it is tied closely to the US and must respond to the changing security environment. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will ultimately have to choose a side between national security and economic gains. Australia stands to benefit economically from the rising geopolitical rivalry between China and the US. "Compared with other countries, trade difficulties between China and Australia will be less."

Huawei Unveils AI-Centric Network Solutions at MWC Barcelona 2025, Seeks to Maximize 5G Value in the Age of AI
Emergence of high-quality, low-cost, and open-source AI models is accelerating innovation and transforming society at multiple levels. Barcelona, Spain, March, 2025 – At MWC Barcelona 2025, Huawei presented its vision for how carriers can leverage AI to unleash the full potential of 5G networks. Li Peng, Huawei's Corporate Senior Vice President and President of ICT Sales & Service, and Yang Chaobin, Director of the Board and CEO of the ICT Business Group, outlined how the symbiosis between 5G-Advanced (5G-A) and AI technologies will drive double-digit growth in both data usage and average revenue per user. 'We're rapidly entering a fully intelligent world. Intelligent applications are spreading everywhere, placing new demands on networks,' said Li in his keynote. 'By embracing and evolving 5G, we can unlock the infinite potential of mobile networks. Huawei is willing and ready to work with carriers and industry partners worldwide to promote digital enablement, reinforce network foundations, and bring AI to all. Together, we can shape the D.N.A. for an intelligent world.' Evolving Networks to Meet AI-Driven Demands: The emergence of high-quality, low-cost, and open-source AI models is accelerating innovation and transforming society at multiple levels – from individualized consumer experiences to intelligent organizational collaboration and more inclusive intelligence for everyone. AI is also fundamentally changing human-machine interaction (HMI), evolving from text-based communications to multi-modal interactions incorporating voice, gestures, and more. As a result, HMI is more real-time and convenient than ever, giving rise to a new wave of innovative applications. This transformation requires networks capable of providing guaranteed latency, which demands ongoing evolution from 5G NSA to 5G SA, and eventually to 5G-A. Carriers can adopt innovative technologies like Control and User Plane Separation (CUPS) and Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR) to ensure deterministic latency for specific scenarios. On the other hand, AI-enabled content production and distribution will place unprecedented demands on networks. AIGC technology now allows for one-click generation of hour-long 2D and 3D videos, while AI recommendations deliver more personalized content to broader audiences. These developments will cause network traffic to surge over the next five years, requiring more spectrum, greater network capacity, and much larger uplink and downlink bandwidth. Huawei's AI-Centric Network Solution: Yang Chaobin introduced Huawei's AI-Centric Network solution, designed to help carriers seize emerging AI opportunities. 'It revolutionizes network capabilities to enable all-domain connectivity. It will power a shift towards application-oriented O&M and will reshape telecom service and business models to take full advantage of new opportunities presented by AI,' he explained. The solution adopts a four-layered approach: All-domain connectivity – With in-depth collaboration between AI and networks, carriers can optimize resource orchestration for routing and bandwidth, providing intelligent applications with universal network access, ultra-high uplink and downlink, and SLA assurance. Application-oriented O&M – As AI gives rise to more complex service scenarios with diverse experience requirements, networks must shift from resource-oriented to application-oriented O&M. Huawei's Telecom Foundation Model supports predictive and proactive O&M, experience optimization based on application-level awareness, and tailored operations. According to Li, AI agents with self-learning capabilities can predict and locate faults in seconds, increasing troubleshooting efficiency by 30%. Enhanced AI-to-X services – AI-centric networks can deliver tailored experiences by assigning the exact levels of bandwidth, latency, and reliability needed for different scenarios. They can evolve to support person-to-agent and agent-to-agent interactivity while enabling ubiquitous connectivity to accelerate AI adoption in public services. Innovative business models – Different experience requirements enable carriers to explore new monetization strategies. 'Carriers can go beyond monetizing traffic and start monetizing experience itself,' noted Li. Carriers worldwide are already exploring monetization based on factors like speed, latency, and VIP benefits, with some expanding into the B2B2C market by exposing network capabilities through Open APIs. Accelerating 5G-A Deployment: Both executives emphasized that early movers are already scaling up 5G-A deployment across more than 200 cities worldwide. Chinese carriers are currently working with over 100 industries to provide AI New Calling services through Open APIs, increasing income from industry customers tenfold. According to third-party data, over one billion people will use cloud phones and cloud drives by 2030, each requiring fast access to cloud computing power. Additionally, intelligent in-vehicle applications will need comprehensive coverage across urban and rural areas to provide continuous mobility experiences. 'The opportunities are huge, and the time to act is now,' concluded Li. 'Pioneers are already taking solid steps forward, unlocking incredible new value.' In 2025, commercial 5G-Advanced deployment will accelerate, and AI will help carriers reshape business, infrastructure, and O&M. Huawei is actively working with carriers and partners around the world to accelerate the transition towards an intelligent world. MWC Barcelona 2025 is being held from March 3 to March 6 in Barcelona, Spain. During the event, Huawei is showcasing its latest products and solutions at stand 1H50 in Fira Gran Via Hall 1.
