MY SCOOP w @violazhouyi 👉 Foxconn staff rotations to India stopped, Chinese expatriates to return home, & equipment exports are held up. Apple overcame tech challenges to make its iPhone Pro Maxes elsewhere, but now, new problems. An obvious one? https://t.co/GCTsE7vMMe

In addition, equipment shipments are delayed, potentially disrupting next-generation iPhone production in India.

The situation is actually worse than the headline, because Mr Chan includes net cash from bond issues. Who will repay those, the tooth fairy? So the real deficit should be over HK$195bn, even worse than 2023-24 ($173bn). Table from 24-25 budget. https://t.co/2o1GYgMJGv

And the effort we spent trying to figure out when India started having tariffs on automobiles and semiconductors 😅 we still don't know. Any India trade historians can tell us ? Lastly coming full circle to work with @_ananyaaa again since our Qz days in 2016! Life's wonderful.

e.g. one updated enough to have smartphones or one showing just consumer goods -- ultimately it wasn't suitable so we didn't use it. Sometimes govs make a lot of noise about slapping on tariffs but they're not actually imposed e.g. EU tariffs on solar panels from china

finding it in the national customs database of the destination country. Tried figuring out what I thought would be a full dataset from the World Bank, but it's cut off in 2022/2023. Also had to wrangle with multiple HS code tables..

About tariff lines and HS codes. Turns out there's no open database showing the latest 2024 YTD tariffs for a comprehensive list of goods worldwide. (DM me if you know one) You'd have to already have in mind a specific product and its HS code before ..

Presenting my first @restofworld piece - a tariff tracker on Chinese tech products. It was one of those assignments you'd naively think are quick turnaround pieces, but in fact draw you into a rabbit hole.. 😵‍💫 https://t.co/lrVMPPT8Xq

President-elect Donald Trump pledges to escalate the trade war, but non-Western nations have targeted China with tariffs, too.

Today I met w the Labour Department of Hong Kong to seek an investigation of the Wall Street Journal's unlawful actions against union participation. As a union rep, I hope to lead by example in affirming & securing the job protections that are guaranteed by law. Photo: boomheadhk

Big Brother applauds Selina Cheng's election and unrelated dismissal. Rest assured, WSJ's press freedom stands firm, except when it doesn’t.
