tom: avril hong in singapore. thank you very much indeed. mainland markets reopening tomorrow, after the lunar new year, does it change the calculus as avril was suggesting? ? president trump's 10% tariffs on chinese goods are now in effect. we have just learned that china is imposing retaliatory tariffs against the u.s. also announced it is investigating google over alleged antitrust breaches. our china correspondent minmin low has been parsing all this for us. what has been announced from beijing? >> that antitrust investigation into google, as well as a series of tariffs 10 to 15% on american agricultural machines, as well as oil, coal, lng, a couple of american companies added to this unreliable entity list and export control on tungsten-related materials, materials for solar panels, semiconductors. very precise, targeted measures although not expensive but it shows china will not back down without a fight. some editors expected maybe china will not retaliate so quickly. clearly this is a highly choreographed move given that china had wa

he joins us live from singapore. thank you so much for your time this morning.s we know, trump's tariff war is just getting started. and here in europe, everyone is bracing for something huge because of the comments we heard from president trump just last night. i don't want our viewers to take a quick listen to this. >> we're going to see what happens. it will happen, but we're going to. mike. we'll see how things work out. it might happen with them, but it will definitely happen with the european union. i can tell you that, because they've really taken advantage of us, and uk is out of line. but i'm sure that one. i think that one can be worked out. but the european union is it's an atrocity. >> but the european union is an atrocity from president donald trump last night. this is, of course, a big concern for europe, not least because the u.s. are in a trade deficit with the european union right now. what do you expect? you know, here monday morning, waking up the reaction to be to these comments. >> well. >> the european union has already said. >> that. they

they have actual evidence of where singapore put their chips. but i think that this company has now been called, so to speak. and i when i meet people, they own it. and i'm not trying to help people. i don't want people to lose money, but i think there is a cohort of nvidia that doesn't know what nvidia does that's worried about deep seek. i'm not as worried. i do think that the cuda platform that they have is going to come out fine, and that the more gpts there are, they are a winner, but they're in quiet period. and during quiet periods, period, people get very nervous and they sell. i mean, i did a lot of work on nvidia this weekend, and then you watch the grammys and you say, well, geez, all my work was just nullified by a guy whom some people regard as a comedian who mentioned it. i don't want the broad notion that nvidia is a fraught stock in the sense that everybody owns it that i talked to, but it's a great company, and i think ultimately it will be a winner. but it has to be a loser first before it's winning. >> that's a 24% drawdown so

but there are ports along the way of the canal that are run by the united states, by taiwan, by singapore. countries from all over the world use this canal because it is such an incredible shortcut between the atlantic and the pacific. so they say that why, since they have been operating it effectively, and why since it's been part of panama for all of these decades, is president trump now saying that china controls the canal? from what we've seen, china does not. it is run by an independent authority that has been in charge for years. we interviewed someone who was in charge here and had spent 44 years working here at the canal, escorting vice president pence in 2017 on a tour here. and they say, why is the united states going after panama and perhaps its closest ally in the region? secretary rubio here is going to see the canal later today. he's already met with president molina, who is pushing back strongly against the u.s. but the u.s. has all of its power. and we've seen how colombia's president had to back down when president trump asserted his authority, economic authority. so it r
