Latest developments in the China-U.S. trade war: Rare Earths vs. Chips, who will surrender first?
The toughest negotiations of 2025 have begun in London! The China-U.S. delegations faced off on June 9, focusing on three core issues:
1️⃣ Tariff melee
The U.S. wants to cut subsidies for Chinese electric vehicles, and China retaliates by tightening rare earth exports. Tesla's stock plummeted 14%, and U.S. automakers lament "without rare earth magnets, factories will shut down!"
2️⃣ Technology stranglehold
The U.S. is adamantly pursuing chip restrictions, while China scoffs: "Your California rare earth mines still need to be transported to China for refining!" Both sides exchanged harsh words, but quietly issued temporary export permits behind the scenes.
