The most hardcore negotiation of 2023 kicks off in London! The US and China delegations face off on June 9, focusing on three main issues:
1️⃣ Tariff Brawl
The US wants to cut subsidies for Chinese electric vehicles, while China retaliates by tightening rare earth exports. Tesla's stock plummets 14%, and US automakers lament, "Without rare earth magnets, our factories will shut down!"
2️⃣ Technology Stranglehold
The US insists on chip restrictions, while China scoffs: "Your California rare earth mines still need to be shipped to China for processing!" Both sides exchange harsh words, but privately, they have quietly issued temporary export permits.
3️⃣ The UK Capitalizes
London becomes the biggest winner! Seizing the opportunity to promote the "post-Brexit trade agreement," it simultaneously courts the US while eagerly pursuing Chinese orders.
