For the first time in three months, China's manufacturing activity contracted in April, amid escalating trade tensions with the United States. With the fall of export demand and factory output, this marks its weakest performance since mid-2023. Meanwhile, China released a video saying it won't "kneel down" to the U.S.
What Happened: The official manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) fell to 49.0. This figure fell short of analyst expectations and slipped below the neutral 50 mark that distinguishes growth from contraction, according to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/30/chinas-factory-activity-drops-to-a-near-two-year-low-in-april-as-trade-tariffs-bite.html">cited</a> by CNBC. 
Sub-indexes for production and new orders both fell, with raw material and output prices also taking a hit. China's non-manufacturing PMI also suffered a blow, while employment declined across most sectors.
Despite this, the Chinese Foreign Ministry asserted its position by releasing an English-language video with Chinese subtitles that, without naming President Donald Trump, portrayed the U.S. as an aggressive global actor other nations should be wary of appeasing. "Bowing to a bully is like drinking poison to quench thirst — it only deepens the crisis," the narrator says, adding, "History has proven that compromise won't earn you mercy — kneeling only invites more bullying. China won't kneel down."

Why It Matters: The manufacturing slowdown comes after Trump imposed new tariffs amounting to a total of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44720006/markets-take-off-as-trump-announces-90-day-tariff-pause-for-non-retaliating-nations-slaps-china-with-125-duty">145% on Chinese imports</a>. China, in retaliation, has imposed 125% tariffs. Analysts noted that these tit-for-tat measures have significantly disrupted trade flows, with a major drop in container traffic between the two nations.
To deal with the fallout, Beijing has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/45004954/china-reportedly-begins-exempting-key-us-imports-from-tariffs-including-pharma-and-aerospace-parts">implemented targeted tariff exemptions</a> and moved to enhance fiscal support, but economists warn that current stimulus measures <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44740040/chinas-growth-outlook-dims-as-trumps-125-tariffs-put-millions-of-jobs-at-risk-goldman-warns">may not be enough.</a>

Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44942449/trump-pledges-substantial-cut-in-china-tariffs-but-refuses-to-make-it-zero-if-they-dont-make-a-deal-we-will-set-the-deal">recently hinted </a>that he expects tariffs on Chinese products to be relaxed, while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the current levels are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/45043362/treasury-secretary-says-its-on-china-to-end-trade-war-tariffs-are-unsustainable">"unsustainable."</a> However, Trump also made clear that any withdrawal would come only after a comprehensive proposal from Beijing. China has repeatedly denied that any formal trade negotiations are underway, even though the Trump administration has claimed otherwise.

Earlier this month, China&#8217;s Ministry of Commerce <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44891949/xi-jinpings-china-pledges-retaliation-against-countries-isolating-beijing-by-giving-into-trump-administrations-unilateral-bullying-says-it-will-never-accept-it">issued a similar statement. </a>

President Donald Trump&#8216;s AI and Crypto Czar, David Sacks, on The All-In Podcast, shared his perspective on Elon Musk&#8216;s recent decision to reduce his time commitment to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
What Happened: The All-In Podcast posted a series of quotes from Sacks, discussing Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk&#8217;s involvement with DOGE. Sacks stated that Musk is not completely out of DOGE, but is rather rationing his time more efficiently. 
He compared this to Musk&#8217;s initial involvement with Twitter, now X, where he spent a significant amount of time understanding the business before shifting to a &#8220;maintenance mode.&#8221; Sacks believes that Musk has reached a similar point with DOGE.

Musk's diminished involvement in DOGE comes as Tesla faces global protests and boycotts tied to his political activity. Despite stepping back, Sacks indicated that Musk will continue overseeing DOGE to guard &#8220;..because if he doesn&#8217;t, there&#8217;s gonna be a huge backsliding where all the corrupt interest will basically put back all this corrupt spending.&#8221;
&#8220;My sense is that DOGE is gonna continue,&#8221; stated Sacks.

Why It Matters: This discussion follows Musk&#8217;s announcement to reduce his commitment to DOGE, dedicating only one to two days per week moving forward. This decision was revealed during&nbsp;Tesla Inc.&#8217;s first-quarter earnings call following a 71% profit plunge in Q1 2025. This resulted in a significant surge in Tesla&#8217;s stock, a nearly 24% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45031652/trumps-ai-and-crypto-czar-david-sacks-says-musk-isnt-out-of-doge-just-rationing-his-time-at-the-department-as-tesla-stock-surges-24-in-the-past-five-days">increase in </a>the past five days following the announcement.
Musk&#8217;s DOGE has reportedly saved $160 billion by eliminating wasteful government spending. However, a recent analysis warns of potential hidden costs for taxpayers due to DOGE&#8217;s actions and it could cost <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45034082/elon-musks-doge-saves-160-billion-but-could-lead-to-billions-in-hidden-costs-for-taxpayers-warns-new-analysis-public-will-end-up-paying-for-this">taxpayers </a>up to $135 billion this fiscal year.

Elon Musk Isn't 'Completely Out' Of DOGE — He's Just In 'Maintenance Mode,' Says David Sacks: 'If He Doesn't, There's Gonna Be A Huge Backsliding'

Former Google chief executive Eric Schmidt says the surest career move for people in their early 30s is to "keep betting on yourself" and grab every chance that comes along — even if it means rolling the dice on a cross-country flight or an unfamiliar job away from family. 
What Happened: In an interview on The Diary of a CEO podcast back in November, Schmidt told host Steven Bartlett that life "can be understood as a series of opportunities that are time-limited" and too often missed because "you were in a bad mood, or didn't know who to call."​
Schmidt, 69, recalled his own leap in 2001, when he said "yes" after Larry Page and Sergey Brin asked him to run a then-little-known search engine called Google. "Changed my life," he said, crediting that single word for turning him into a multi-billionaire and later the co-founder of philanthropic venture Schmidt Sciences. The ex-CEO urged listeners not to let fear or logistics block similar jumps: "Get on the airplane and get it done."
Schmidt, son of an international economics professor, studied electrical engineering at Princeton and earned his master's and Ph.D. from UC Berkeley.

His advice lands as Gen Z workers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44756318/shaken-not-settled-gen-z-workers-lose-confidence-as-economic-clouds-gather">weigh an uncertain job market</a> and an AI boom that is reshaping career ladders almost as quickly as Google once rewrote the internet. Schmidt argued the only constant is personal initiative: "Your philosophy in life should be to say yes to that opportunity… yes it's painful, yes it's difficult, but you do it." For the man who helped scale Google from a start-up to a $2 trillion titan, the biggest risk is saying no.
Why It Matters: Schmidt&#8217;s advice is simple but echoes Canadian ice hockey legend Wayne Gretzky&#8217;s famous words: You miss 100% of the shots you don&#8217;t take. On the topic of simple life advice, Jeff Bezos <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39563534/jeff-bezos-reveals-the-one-secret-to-success-you-can-have-a-job-or-you-can-have-a-career-or">urges people</a> to turn their passions into careers, telling a Bush Center leadership forum once that true success comes from pursuing a "calling" rather than settling for a job or even a career. He explains that hitting this "jackpot" requires deliberate action, persistent effort, and resilience.
Bezos rejects any notion of passively waiting for purpose to appear, stressing that individuals must actively cultivate and commit to their interests. His stance echoes Warren Buffett's view that the most successful businesspeople "do what they love," <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44065860/warren-buffetts-unconventional-career-advice-dont-save-your-passion-for-later-its-like-saving-up-sex-for-you">reinforcing the idea</a> that passion-driven work yields the greatest rewards.
