#美国加征关税 China and the U.S. in London for a 48-hour showdown, temporarily pressing the pause button on the trade war, but the fuse is burning down to August 10th! If talks break down, it will explode!

Temporary pain relief:

U.S. side: Eased the grip on rare earth exports.

China side: Allowed some rare earth exports from Shenzhen to resume.

Tariffs plummet! U.S. punitive tariffs on China drop from 145% to 30%, and China's tariffs on the U.S. drop from 125% to 10%.

BUT! A bomb overhead:

August 10th is the line of life and death! If no agreement is reached? All reduced tariffs will “boom” back up, possibly even harsher! Just a postponement of the explosion!

Surface ceasefire, secretly stabbing:

The U.S. has not stopped its underhanded tactics: Chip and aircraft equipment bans remain in place! They also boast about the 34% “standard” tariff supported by the courts. A stalling tactic! The big stick could drop at any moment!
