Watch: China Hit By Worker Protests Over Unpaid Wages, Factory Shutdowns Amid Trump Tariffs

Watch: China Hit By Worker Protests Over Unpaid Wages, Factory Shutdowns Amid Trump Tariffs President Donald Trump’s hard-hitting tariffs on China appear to be taking a toll, disrupting Chinese factories and sparking worker protests over unpaid wages.As we noted late last month based on reporting by the Financial Times, factories across all of China have begun shutting down and furloughing workers "as the trade war unleashed by US President Donald Trump dries up orders for products ranging from jeans to home appliances."With most Chinese goods now facing US duties of at least 145%, or simply lacking the raw materials needed to process goods and sent them onward to the US, Chinese factory owners told the FT that American customers have cancelled or suspended orders, forcing them to cut production.With about 15% of all Chinese exports last year going to the US...... and with China increasingly transshipping billions of goods to the US using such (formerly) untariffed venues such as Vietnam... .... it is not all surprising that as China's largest trading partner halts most imports, pain would be pervasive. And it is: in interviews with the Financial Times and via dozens of social media posts, workers shared pictures of quiet production lines or factory suspension notices, highlighting how the tariffs are starting to bite.Now, according to Radio Free Asia, protests are erupting across China - from Hunan’s Dao County to Sichuan’s Suining City and Inner Mongolia’s Tongliao. Hundreds of enraged workers are storming the streets, blasting unpaid wages and wrongful firings as factories collapse under the crushing force of President Trump’s relentless U.S. tariffs, the news outlet said.One video shared to X showed angry workers shouting “Strike! Strike!” while protesting outside the Shangda Electronics’ factory in Suining city on Sunday.【中国多地传出讨薪、罢工维权运动】中国经济下行,加上美国对中国产品祭出高额关税,内外夹击下,社交平台X及Youtube帐号“昨天” @YesterdayBigcat 近日上传多起中国各地拖欠薪资,员工讨薪和罢工争取权益的案件。#中国经济 #下行 #欠薪 #罢工 #农民工 pic.twitter.com/FQqclPMNsX— 自由亚洲电台 (@RFA_Chinese) April 29, 2025Radio Free Asia also reported:Last week, on April 24, hundreds of workers of Guangxin Sports Goods in Dao county went on strike after the company’s factory was shut down without paying employees their compensation or their social security benefits.Workers at the company’s factory, which produces sports protective gear and related accessories, said Guangxin Sports unfairly dismissed more than 100 female employees, aged over 50 years, in September 2024 on the grounds of “reaching retirement age,” without paying them their wages or guiding them on retirement procedures.When Radio Free Asia contacted Guangxin for a comment, a male employee at the company immediately hung up the phone on hearing the word “reporter.” The Dao County Labor and Social Security Bureau told RFA that “Guangxin still has dozens of employees operating.”Elsewhere in Inner Mongolia, many construction workers gathered on the rooftops of Jincan Royal Garden Community in Tongliao city on April 25 where they threatened to jump off the building if they were not paid the back wages they were due, another video posted on the same X account showed.Of note, Goldman Sachs warned last month that Trump’s tariffs put roughly 16 million jobs in China at risk, saying that the increases will “significantly weigh on the Chinese economy.” In April, China’s manufacturing activity plunged more than expected to a 16-month low, entering into contractionary territory, with the official purchasing managers’ index sinking to 49.0. “The sharp drop in the PMIs likely overstates the impact of tariffs due to negative sentiment effects, but it still suggests that China’s economy is coming under pressure as external demand cools,” said Zichun Huang, China economist at Capital Economics, wrote.After Trump shocked the world by imposing a 145% tariff on Chinese imports, Beijing countered with 125% duties on U.S. goods. Trump claims negotiations with Chinese officials are underway, but China’s Foreign Ministry has rejected these assertions, dismissing them as “unfounded.” The White House has defended the tariffs as a necessary measure to protect U.S. workers and address China’s trade practices, though economists warn of rising consumer prices and potential economic disruptions. Bloomberg News reported this week that China has quietly lifted $40 billion in retaliatory tariffs on 131 U.S. import items, including pharmaceuticals and industrial chemicals.In a Sunday interview with Fox News, Trump said that he will not lower tariffs on China to entice Beijing to negotiate."They said today they want to talk. Look, China, and I don't like this. I'm not happy about this. China's getting killed right now," Trump told host NBC's "Meet The Press" host Kristen Welker. "They're getting absolutely destroyed. Their factories are closing. Their unemployment is going through the roof. I'm not looking to do that to China now. At the same time, I'm not looking to have China make hundreds of billions of dollars and build more ships and more Army tanks and more airplanes.""You're not dropping the tariffs against China to get them to the negotiating table?" Welker asked."No,” the president replied. Tyler DurdenSun, 05/04/2025 - 22:45

Eagles' Wirtz breaks two school records

GREENSBURG Ellinwood's Reagan Wirtz soared to a school-record long jump (18-93/4) and followed with a school record 200 meters (25.24) along with a gold medal in the 100 meters (12.3) at Friday's Kiowa County Track Invitational. "Her dominant showing powered the Eagles to a second-place finish (82 points). High jumper Ayla Ritchie (4-10) placed first and Eleanor Joiner swept the 400 (1:02.5) and 3,200 (12.44.55) with a season-best time."The strong all-around showing highlighted the depth and versatility of this year’s squad," Zook said.BOYS DIVISION — St. John's boys earned a trio of gold medals from Quade Smith, 800 (2:05.66) along with the 1,600-meter relay (3:22.53) with Braxton Alpers, Jace Reyes, Jericho Mawhirter, Smith; and the 3,200-meter relay (9:03.01) with Reyes, D.J. Barney, Alpers, Smith."On the boys’ side, the Eagles secured a fifth-place finish thanks to key contributions from a dependable group of upperclassmen and a promising wave of young talent," Zook said. "The balance of experience and potential bodes well for the rest of the season."Ellinwood's home meet is scheduled May 9."We'd love support for both teams at our home meet," Zook said.

I am interested in the illusion of worth that money gives to individuals since money in and of itself is dead. It is comprised of metal or pieces of paper mixed with cloth. It is only the human agreement as to how much the paper or metal is worth that allows us to purchase objects with it. On the other hand, people, animals, plants, the earth are alive. We and they have inherent value. When people choose money over life, we are all in trouble.

Student loan collections restart for more than 5 million borrowers in default

Student loan collections restart for more than 5 million borrowers in default

The U.S. Department of Education will resume collecting on defaulted student loans on Monday. More than 5 million borrowers are currently in default, and that total could swell to roughly 10 million borrowers within a few months, according to the Trump administration. The federal government has extraordinary collection powers on its student loans and it can seize borrowers’ tax refunds, paychecks and Social Security retirement and disability benefits.The U.S. Department of Education is set to restart collection efforts on defaulted student loans on Monday — putting millions of borrowers at risk of wage garnishment and other consequences.The federal government has extraordinary collection powers on its student loans and it can seize borrowers’ tax refunds, paychecks and Social Security retirement and disability benefits.More than 42 million Americans hold student loans, and collectively, outstanding federal education debt exceeds $1.6 trillion. More than 5 million borrowers are currently in default, and that total could swell to roughly 10 million borrowers within a few months, according to the Trump administration.The Trump administration has been critical of former President Joe Biden’s student loan relief efforts, questioning the logic of directing financial resources at those who’ve benefited from a college degree.“American taxpayers will no longer be forced to serve as collateral for irresponsible student loan policies,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon in a statement.More from Personal Finance:Is college still worth it? It is for most, but not allHow to maximize your college financial aid offerWhat student loan forgiveness opportunities remain under TrumpBorrowers face plan changes, long waits for helpCollection activity on federal student loans has mostly been paused for half a decade. During that period, there have been sweeping changes and disruptions to the lending system.Millions of borrowers who signed up for the Biden administration’s new repayment plan, known as SAVE, were caught in limbo after GOP-led lawsuits managed to get the plan blocked in the summer of last year. Many of those borrowers will now have to switch out of a Biden-era payment pause and into another repayment plan that will spike their monthly bill.In recent months, the Trump administration has eliminated the forgiveness provision from some student loan repayment plans.It also terminated staff at the Education Department, including many of the people who helped assist borrowers. Now some student loan borrowers report waiting hours on the phone before being able to reach someone about their debt. (The Trump administration has told defaulted borrowers to contact the department for options on getting current.)“The timing of the layoffs is unfortunate, given the need for borrowers to get help,” said higher education expert Mark Kantrowitz, who added that he’s heard from people stuck waiting on hold as long as eight hours to speak with someone at the department or their loan servicer.Borrowers in default may see credit scores declineRestarting collections while the federal student loan system is facing so much uncertainty “will further fan the flames of economic chaos for working families across this country,” said Mike Pierce, the executive director of the Student Borrower Protection Center.In addition to garnished paychecks and benefits, the millions of borrowers who are already late on their payments may see their credit scores tank by as much as 129 points as the Education Department ramps up collection activity, VantageScore recently wrote.Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve predicted in March that some people with a delinquency could see their scores fall by as much as 171 points. Credit scores typically range from 300 to 850, with around 670 and higher considered good.Lower credit scores can lead to higher borrowing costs on consumer loans such as mortgages, car loans and credit cards.“We’ve been seeing clients with delinquent accounts who reached out after noticing a drop in their credit scores,” said Carolina Rodriguez, director of the Education Debt Consumer Assistance Program in New York.She said one client hasn’t made a payment on her student debt since last year because she can’t afford her $200 monthly bill.“She’s making $45,000 and living in New York City,” Rodriguez said. “Every month, she’s in the red.”

Terror arrests came in context of raised warnings about Iran, with ongoing chaos in its own backyard

Last year, the director general of MI5, Ken McCallum, said his organisation and police had responded to 20 Iran-backed plots presenting potentially lethal threats to British citizens and UK residents since January 2022. "As events unfold in the Middle East, we will give our fullest attention to the risk of an increase in - or a broadening of - Iranian state aggression in the UK," he said. The implication is that even as Iran grapples with a rapidly changing situation in its own region, having seen its proxies, Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza, decimated and itself coming under Israeli attack, it may seek avenues further abroad.

Miley Cyrus debuts new song with ‘a couple of exes' in the room

Originally appeared on E! OnlineWelcome to Miley Cyrus‘ surprise party in the U.S.A.In New York, to be exact. The Grammy-winning singer gave a surprise performance of her new song “More to Lose” May 3, less than a month before the release of her new album “Something Beautiful.”Cyrus channeled her Hannah Montana era with a simple blonde, straightened hairstyle, paired with an all-black outfit, at Casa Cipriani NY as she performed for the intimate audience, which, she teased, included a few exes.“I have a lot of people that I’ve known and loved for a very long time in this room,” Cyrus said in a video of the event shared to X May 3. “Even a couple of exes.”And in the unreleased track, which is set to drop May 9, Cyrus—who has previously been linked to Liam Hemsworth, Nick Jonas and Stella Maxwell—hints at a fallout of a past relationship.“‘Cause when you’re looking like a movie star in a worn out coat,” she sang. “I throw away my mind, it happens all the time.”Later, she sings of a supposed end to the relationship, adding, “I knew someday, the one would have to choose I thought we had more to lose.”READ Oscars 2025: Miley Cyrus Is Unrecognizable Without Eyebrows on Date Night With Maxx MorandoThe 32-year-old’s new album is set to drop May 30. And she’s already teased what to expect with singles “Something Beautiful” and “End of the World.”Cyrus transformed the latter track, recorded as a fast-paced pop song, into a haunting ballad when she performed it during a set at Los Angeles’ Chateau Marmont in March 2024, with footage from the gig shared on her YouTube last month.And while she’s now ready for the world to hear “End of the World,” written for her mom, Tish Cyrus, her intimate performance of it was never meant to be shared.” Rather it was “just for us in the room.”“The secret of a song before it’s released is such a sacred time,” Cyrus wrote on Instagram April 17 alongside a clip from the performance. “I am honored today to have it out in the world hopefully bringing some joy, but on this night I was singing only to the person I wrote it for. My muse, my mom. xMiley.”As for what’s next from her new music? It may just be her song “More to Lose” which she teased on social media with a clip of her performing the track in a studio.But while “Something Beautiful” marks her ninth studio record, it also marks a major departure as it is also her first visual album. Inspired by Pink Floyd’s “The Wall,” she sees the album as boasting a “hypnotizing and glamorous” vibe.“It’s a concept album,” she told Harper’s Bazaar in an interview published in November, “that’s an attempt to medicate somewhat of a sick culture through music.”And to bring it to life, Cyrus turned to someone close to her heart, her boyfriend Maxx Morando.“I’ve always worked with the people that I love,” she said. “And Maxx just inspires me so much.”PHOTOSMiley Cyrus
