🇨🇳🍼 China has introduced a new divorce law with the aim of making marriage registration easier and divorce proceedings more challenging. This includes a 30-day "cooling-off" period for couples to consider their decision before finalizing a divorce. The new law also shifts property division during divorce based on who paid for it, rather than equal division, potentially impacting women's property rights.

📝 Samo Burja: China might have just undertaken the most harsh and serious pro-fertility reform in the world.

It won't be enough.

But this shows they have political will to solve fertility through any means necessary even if it doesn't look nice to modern sensibilities.

🇨🇳/🇺🇸 China to boost yuan with overseas gold storage facilities as it challenges US hegemony

China will allow certain products traded on the Shanghai Gold Exchange to be delivered overseas by establishing storage facilities in other countries – part of a broader effort to promote the yuan and reduce reliance on the US dollar and US financial systems, according to top regulatory agencies.

In an action plan aimed at enhancing Shanghai’s cross-border financial services to support outbound investment and the Belt and Road Initiative, Chinese regulators said key financial platforms would be strengthened to better allocate global financial resources and enable deeper international investor participation in China’s markets.

Instead, there has been a “massive increase” in demand for consignments from Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, the spokesperson added.

🇮🇳🇵🇰 India and Pakistan could come to blows over Kashmir

[O]n April 22nd, at least 26 people were killed and 17 injured after gunmen opened fire on tourists in Pahalgam. It appears to have been the deadliest militant attack since 2019 in the Himalayan region, which is claimed in full but ruled in part by both India and Pakistan. And it was the bloodiest strike on tourists there since an insurgency started 36 years ago.

Looks like DOGE has been a total flop.

During the election, Musk promised $2 trillion in cuts. After the inauguration, he lowered that to $1 trillion in cuts. As of last week, DOGE is claiming $150 billion in cuts, of which only $60 billion has receipts, and those receipts are filled with errors.

Today, following the news that Q1 Tesla income is down 71%, Musk says he is stepping back from government work to focus on Tesla.

So after 3 months and delivering at most 3% of the promised spending cuts, it seems like DOGE may be on its way out. A noble effort but doomed from the start.

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺⚡️ — Putin offers to halt Ukraine invasion along front lines

🔶 Vladimir Putin has offered to halt his invasion of Ukraine at the current front line as part of efforts to reach a peace deal with US President Donald Trump, according to people familiar with the matter.

🔶 The Russian president told Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy, during a meeting in St Petersburg earlier this month that Moscow could relinquish its claims to areas of four partly occupied Ukrainian regions that remain under Kyiv’s control, three of the people said.

🔶 The US has since floated ideas for a possible settlement that includes Washington recognising Russian ownership of Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula, the people added, as well as at least acknowledging the Kremlin’s de facto control over the parts of the four regions it currently holds.

🔶 The proposal is the first formal indication Putin has given since the war’s early months three years ago that Russia could step back from its maximalist demands to end the invasion.

📈 Investors are piling into gold funds like never before:

Gold funds posted a record ~$8 billion in net inflows last week.

This is double the record weekly inflows seen during the 2020 pandemic.

As a result, the 4-week moving average of inflows jumped to ~$4 billion, also an all-time high.

Gold prices have now rallied 29% this year, the best year-to-date gain since 1974.

In fact, in less than 5 months, gold has already exceeded its 27% return seen in 2024.

📚💸 Student loans in default to be referred to debt collection, Education Department says

The Education Department will begin collection next month on student loans that are in default, including the garnishing of wages for potentially millions of borrowers, officials said Monday.

Currently, roughly 5.3 million borrowers are in default on their federal student loans.

The Trump administration ’s announcement marks an end to a period of leniency that began during the COVID-19 pandemic. No federal student loans have been referred for collection since March 2020, including those in default. Under President Joe Biden, the Education Department tried multiple times to give broad forgiveness of student loans, only to be stopped by courts.

“American taxpayers will no longer be forced to serve as collateral for irresponsible student loan policies,” Education Secretary Linda McMahon said.

🇨🇳📦➡️🌍➡️🇺🇸 — 🇺🇸 The Epoch Times | Beijing’s ‘Gray Trade’ Tariff Avoidance Scheme | China is starting to ship its goods to low-tariff countries first, then export them to the United States to evade high tariffs | April 21, 2025:

"(...)

China’s Gray Trade Strategy Blunts Impact of US Tariffs

With U.S. tariffs reaching 145 percent on Chinese imports—at least at the time of this writing—Beijing’s new strategy seems to include the use of so-called gray trade to bypass American trade barriers. Gray trade involves rerouting goods through low-tariff countries, such as Vietnam, Mexico, or Malaysia, to conceal their Chinese origin and thereby reduce U.S. import duties.

This sneaky tactic has surged as a response to President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariff policies, making China’s goods less competitive in the U.S. market due to their added cost."

This shouldn't come as a surprise. The vast majority of federal spending goes towards entitlements and the military. Trump was never going to touch either and if anything, he would be partial to increasing military spending which he of course did.

What's more, even if you could find $1 trillion in waste, fraud, and abuse without touching military and entitlements, Trump also promised to deepen the corporate tax cut along with additional tax cuts. It was never going to happen.

Just like with Iran, mass deportations, and tariffs, all of this was predictable from the jump if you just read between the lines. "You can just do things!!!" True but you need the right personnel, organization, discipline, and a plan— none of which Trump EVER has.

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺⚡️ NEW: Axios reports the U.S. is expecting Ukraine to respond on Wednesday to a peace proposal that would include U.S. recognition of Crimea as Russian territory and acknowledge Russia's control over most of the areas it has occupied since the 2022 invasion, according to sources familiar with the plan.

🇷🇺 What Russia would gain:

— U.S. legal recognition of its control over Crimea
— Informal acknowledgment of its occupation in parts of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia
— A pledge that Ukraine will not join NATO (though EU membership is still possible)
— Removal of post-2014 sanctions
— Increased U.S.-Russia economic cooperation, especially in energy and industry

— Vague “robust security guarantees” via a coalition of European and other countries — with no clear mention of U.S. involvement
— The return of a small area in Kharkiv region
— Free navigation on the Dnieper River
— Reconstruction aid, though funding sources are unclear

— The Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant would be under Ukrainian sovereignty but operated by the U.S., supplying power to both sides
— A U.S.-Ukraine minerals agreement is expected to be signed on Thursday
