The U.S.-China relations are highly complicated. Politically, the cooperation is still ongoing between the two countries on several issues, but economically, the trade competition is intensifying. The volume of trade with other countries during 2017 was quite similar for both countries with a slight increase in favor of China. Meanwhile, there was a surplus in the Chinese trade balance as opposed to a deficit in the U.S.

Chinese Economy VS. U.S. Economy
The U.S.-China trade war has escalated in 2018 after President Trump announced his intent to impose high tariffs on some Chinese goods. In response, China reciprocated with imposing tariffs on American goods, leading to a state of anticipating a trade war that may put the global oil markets at risk. China has a winning “debt” card that, if used against Washington, would shake global markets.

The Deep Web & The Dark Web
Internet users may think that their daily browsing provides them access to all the Internet data, while in fact, browsers connect them to only 16% of the available information. The remaining data are hidden in what is known as the "Deep Web", which separates accessible and confidential web spheres, where content is not indexed. In the depth of the deep web, there is what is known as the "Dark Web", which allows for illegal services such as hiring assassins, selling weapons and drugs, human trafficking, and thefts. Users who attempt to access the dark web are subject to hacking and blackmailing activities, while the perpetrators' identities remain unknown.
