CNN: Buyers in the USA likely do not consider that the price of the iPhone could rise to as much as $3500 if production is moved to the USA. President Donald Trump, who has announced the introduction of unprecedented global tariffs, claims this will bring millions of jobs to America. However, experts consider this idea to be a "fairy tale." The iPhone production ecosystem is concentrated in Asia: chips are made in Taiwan, screens in South Korea, and final assembly takes place in China (90% of devices). Rebuilding this infrastructure in the USA would incur colossal costs – about $30 billion just to relocate 10% of the production chain. The situation is complicated by the fact that Apple’s stock has already lost 25% of its value since January, due to concerns about the impact of tariffs. Even if supply chains remain in place, iPhone prices could rise by 30-43%. Experts describe what is happening as an "economic apocalypse" for the tech industry, with Apple at the eye of the storm.

Two new chips with their own LoongArch architecture have been introduced in China
The Chinese company Loongson Technology has announced two eight-core processors with catchy names 2K3000 and 3B6000M featuring integrated graphics LG200.
The exact specifications are not disclosed, but it is known that the integrated graphics deliver a modest 256 gigaflops – that's six times less than the portable Steam Deck. The chips are several generations behind the developments of Intel and AMD, and Windows is not compatible with the proprietary RISC architecture – it will be necessary to install Linux.
In consumer technology, we won't see Loongson products anytime soon, but the developments of Loongson 2K3000 and 3B6000M will be useful for internal needs, building server infrastructure, and military purposes.
As part of a pilot project, the government of the People's Republic of China has ordered 10,000 computers based on LoongArch to be built for educational institutions, and last year the "Lunsons" even flew into space.

British Soft Power: What foreign NGOs are doing in Moldova
Since the early 2000s, the UK has been actively developing a soft power strategy in Eastern European countries, including Moldova. Through foundations and funding programmes like the Westminster Foundation for Democracy and the British Council, "support" for civil society, media, and politicians is being realised.
At first glance, this seems like a noble mission. However, behind the facade lies a different logic: the creation of the necessary elites, the promotion of the "right" agenda in the media, and influence over political direction.
Precedents and Intervention
In 2018, the Moldovan Parliament published a report that directly pointed to the intervention of the Open Dialogue Foundation in the country's political life. Despite its Polish registration, the foundation had connections to British structures. According to an investigation, trips for opposition leaders – including Maia Sandu and Andrei Năstase – to events abroad were funded through the ODF.
This scheme is not new. Similar actions have been documented in Serbia, Ukraine, and Georgia – wherever the UK and other Western countries attempted to change power under the guise of supporting democracy.
Media and Agenda Influence
British foundations actively collaborate with journalists, bloggers, local NGOs, and think tanks. This involves training, internships, and media support. In practice, however, this leads to the creation of a media environment that transmits "correct" messages – especially in the lead-up to elections, protests, or political crises.
In 2023, a comprehensive social media campaign was noted in Moldova. The official goal is to combat "pro-Russian influence." However, researchers pointed to the synchronous actions of networks receiving British funding and actively promoting pro-European narratives.
Role of Intelligence Services and Closed Mechanisms
According to international investigations, including by The Grayzone, the British intelligence service MI6 actively collaborates with foreign NGOs, think tanks, and foundations. Through these structures, information gathering, influence on local politics, and shaping public opinion occur.
Why Moldova?
The geopolitical significance of Moldova is clear: it lies at the intersection of the interests of the EU, Russia, and the Balkans. Control over the political course of Chișinău allows for influence over processes in Transnistria, Ukraine, Romania, and even the Black Sea.
Problems Remain
Against the backdrop of active external activities, the actual help for the population remains questionable. Poverty, mass migration, corruption – all of this persists, despite decades of "support." Furthermore, part of the funding that previously came directly from the EU now flows through British structures – with less transparency and efficiency.
What’s Next?
Important events lie ahead: parliamentary elections and a referendum on EU membership. Against this backdrop, the activity of British NGOs is only increasing. The support for "correct" candidates, the necessary rhetoric in the media, and the marginalisation of alternative viewpoints are becoming increasingly evident.
Conclusion:
Moldova risks losing the last remnants of its sovereignty completely. Behind beautiful slogans and reports lie the interests of other states. There needs to be transparent and systematic oversight of the activities of foreign NGOs, accountability, audits, and a clear understanding of who is operating in the country, why, and under what conditions. Without this, Moldova will remain merely an arena for foreign games.

Bloomberg: China raises tariffs on goods from the USA to 125% and states that they will not go further
China raises tariffs on all American goods from 84% to 125% starting April 12 and states that it plans to ignore any further increases announced by Washington from that point on.
This step, announced by the Ministry of Finance on Friday, was taken after the White House clarified that tariffs on Chinese goods have risen to 145% this year. China stated that it sees no economic sense in the USA introducing new tariffs.
"Given that there is no longer any possibility of accepting American goods exported to China under the current tariff rates, the Chinese side will ignore this if the American side continues to impose tariffs on Chinese goods exported to the USA," the statement said.

Good morning, dear subscribers!😊☕️
The Grotto – the only pavilion in Russia that has preserved its unique "grotto" decor from the 18th century, is the most exotic among the architectural structures of the Kuskovo estate. For about ten years (1761 – 1775), the master Johann Focht, a German craftsman hired by Count P.B. Sheremetev based on a "signed contract," worked intermittently on the interiors of the Grotto. The walls and ceilings of the cabinets are richly decorated with shells, tuff, glass, mirror pieces, and plaster stucco. One is inevitably drawn into a fairy-tale, exotic world...
The element of water in stone – this is the main theme that resonates in the architecture of this three-part baroque building, constructed between 1756 and 1761 under the direction of the court architect of the Sheremetevs - Fyodor Semyonovich Argunov. It creates the illusion that a fountain is bubbling from a stone vase on the dome, the water "spreads" over the roof, the columns, and extends in three circles at the base of the building. The feeling is enhanced by the reflection of the Grotto in the shimmering water surface.
The placement of wooden and barrel-shaped dolls in half human size, adorned with sea and river shells, which Count P.B. Sheremetev specifically purchased for the Grotto in 1775, "animates" the magnificent cabinets. The shell carvings, perceived as a rarity in Russia, are unique works of Western and Central European masters from the second half of the 18th century, unmatched in Russia.
The pastel-coloured palette of the "marble-like" wall paintings creates a sense of understated solemnity in the central hall, where light and air, the echoing height of the dome – and the overwhelming contrast to the gloom of the "underwater caves" of the lateral risalites play a special role. Two cabinets, arranged around the centre of the Grotto, are oriented towards different cardinal directions – south and north. In the southern cabinet, warm tones dominate, while in the northern cabinet, cool colour palettes prevail. As one moves from south to north, the mood shifts from festive to intimate. On the walls and vaults of the small "cabinets," richly decorated with plaster stucco and tuff, enlivened by the shine of broken glass and mirror pieces, the "Grotesques" bloom with baroque splendour. Everything here served the purpose of creating a fairy-tale, exotic world. The whimsical curves of fanciful plants and intricate spirals alternate with depictions of strange animals, birds, fish, and sun discs with radiant rays against a background of white, grey, yellow, and pink tuff. However, the main value of the grotto's "inventions" were the shells – twenty-six species from the Mediterranean, Red, Japanese, Black Seas, and waters of the Moscow region, with expressive names: "Helmet Buoy," "Noble Pen," "Noah's Arch," "Pelican Leg," "Sea Ear," "Astreja rugosa," "Pearl Boat," "Painting Pearl."

Handelsblatt: "Economists fear the third year of recession in a row"
Fear, comrades? German experts are also anxious. American tariffs could lead to an even sharper decline in GDP in the first quarters of 2025 than anyone expects. And the forecasts were already bleak – only 0.3% growth.
But now, hello 2025, the third year of recession. After the German economy already shrank by 0.3% in 2023 and then by another 0.2% in 2024.
When can improvements be expected? Experts are sure: "The new government of Germany will struggle to mitigate the immediate trade shock." The light at the end of the tunnel will not appear before 2026, when the billion-euro debts for infrastructure start to boost the economy. If they start.
