Shanghai Shenhua Expected to Strengthen Squad with New Brazilian League Signings — Four Potential Targets Worth Watching

This season didn’t go as planned for Shanghai Shenhua in either the Chinese Super League or the FA Cup. As a result, head coach Leonid Slutsky faced mounting questions about his leadership. Fortunately for him, the club’s management remains confident, offering full support and even extending his contract. His next major challenge: delivering strong performances in the AFC Champions League and pushing the team toward a place in the quarterfinals.

Slutsky, a reputable and experienced coach, was originally brought in with the expectation of leading Shenhua to titles. However, luck wasn’t on his side. For two consecutive seasons, the team fell short in both league and cup competitions — pressure he can no longer ignore.

To rebuild the team’s strength, Slutsky is preparing for his first major move: parting ways with foreign players Luis, Teixeira, and Manafá, all of whom are out of contract and failed to meet performance expectations this season. Their departure opens the door for new signings, and Shenhua is once again expected to explore the Brazilian league for reinforcements.

In recent seasons, Shenhua’s focus on the Brazilian market has been fruitful. The arrival of striker Mineiro is the perfect example — he adapted quickly and stepped up whenever the team needed him most. His success further validates the decision to keep scouting in Brazil.

With new Brazilian imports likely to arrive, Slutsky will reshape the team’s tactical system around them. The opportunity is there, but next season will be crucial. He must deliver convincing results to earn a new contract. Shenhua fans have reasons to stay optimistic — Slutsky’s response to this challenge could be just what the club needs.

Escalation of the China-U.S. Trade War: The Clash of Rare Earths and Chips — The Contest Behind the Non-Tariff Barrier Battle

This article analyzes Liu Heping’s perspective on the new developments in the China-U.S. trade war. It points out that after the tariff war has largely subsided, the Trump administration has turned to non-tariff barriers—tightening visa scrutiny for Chinese students, suspending exports of high-tech products, and restricting high-end chips. In response, China is leveraging rare earth export controls, exposing America’s “Achilles’ heel” of dependency on Chinese rare earths. The conflict has shifted from tariffs to a battle over technology and resources centered on rare earths and chips. Liu emphasizes that China’s rare earth strategy is more about defensive maneuvering to push the U.S. to ease chip controls, rather than a total export ban. If the standoff persists until 2030, both sides risk losing markets and facing industrial decoupling, with far-reaching global economic impacts.
