The most hardcore negotiations of 2023 kicked off in London! The US and China delegations faced off on June 9, focusing on three core issues:

1️⃣ Tariff Brawl

The US wants to cut China's electric vehicle subsidies, while China retaliates by choking off rare earth exports. Tesla's stock plummeted 14%, and US automakers lamented, "Without rare earth magnets, factories will have to shut down!"

2️⃣ Technology Throat Hold

The US is adamant about chip blockades, while China sneers: "Your California rare earth mines still need to be shipped to China for refinement!" Both sides exchanged harsh words, but secretly granted temporary export licenses.

3️⃣ UK Picking Up the Pieces

London emerged as the biggest winner! Seizing the opportunity to promote the "post-Brexit trade agreement," it simultaneously courts the US while aggressively pursuing Chinese orders.
