Trump can¡¯t imagine that China doesn¡¯t show up on the road. The United States has just taken action against Chinese companies. Within 12 hours, China has imposed two sanctions on the United States. A combination of punches will deceive the United States¡£

According to Reuters, on October 8 local time, the United States blacklisted 15 China companies, claiming that these China companies helped Iranian agents purchase drones containing American electronic components. This is not the first time that the United States has used such reasons to target China companies.

In the past, the United States often used China companies to give help to Russia or Iran and imposed sanctions on Chinese companies. Even if China companies tell the U.S. government that exports abide by the rules, they are willing to cooperate with the U.S. investigation to solve the problemHowever, the United States does not agree. Sanctions are not just to protect U.S. strategic security, but to use them as a tool against China¡£

It was mentioned in a previous article that the United States cannot compete with China in the field of drones. In order to keep its drone industry alive in the competition, it plans to impose a tax on imported drones and also wants to strictly review drones imported from the United States by some countries. In short, we tried every means to make things difficult, and the same was true for China companies this time.

Subsequently, China's Ministry of Commerce announced new rare earth export control rules, among which Rare lands used for military purposes or for military production research shall not be exported.At the same time, users who want to apply for rare land exports If they are military users outside of China, or users on the control list, including the subsidiaries of these companies, they are not allowed to export.¡£

The new regulation also tightened the rules that citizens or organizations inside China are not allowed to arbitrarily mining rare earth and can not arbitrarily forge and manufacture rare earth to customers overseas. This would be against the core interests of the United States.¡£

Foreign media have previously reported that U.S. military companies are trying every means to find rare earth suppliers other than China, and are willing to buy a certain type of rare earth even if they pay five times the price. Unfortunately, no matter how much American companies pay, they cannot buy enough rare earths. A U.S. military drone company said its order was forced to be delayed by two months.

The U.S. has repeatedly expressed hope that China will release some of its rare-earth exports, preferably by April. Now, it seems that this hope of the United States will be dashed. China will tighten its control on rare earths in response to US sanctions against China¡£

Before long, On the same day, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce issued another announcement that blackened 14 U.S. companies., most of which are anti-drone companies and have strong ties to the U.S. military.

According to the Ministry of Commerce, these companies are not allowed to carry out any import and export activities related to China, and they are not allowed to invest in China.

These anti-drone companies may provide defense contracting, anti-drone systems, detection and jamming drones, and even military drone manufacturing for the United States and its allies¡£ The other three companies involve intelligence and technology, which may provide services such as intelligence analysis, supply chain research, market technology analysis and even chip demolition.¡£

This sanction imposed by China's Ministry of Commerce also quite accurately countered the previous measures taken by the United States to expand the "joint sitting" of Chinese enterprises, that is, the sanctioned Chinese enterprises and their subsidiaries with 50% or more shares will be sanctioned together. The Ministry of Commerce now has the same attitude towards American companies, including all TechInsights companies and branches in the list of unreliable entities.

This is to show the United States that the United States is not afraid of China, the Chinese side is always accompanied. China holds the rare earths of the US military industry in the hand, the Chinese side can tighten at any time, this time the Ministry of Commerce to update the control of rare earths is beating the alarm clock. In addition, if the United States wants to engage in new assembly and expansion, China will not be afraid, what the United States will do, China will do.

For the United States, which often goes back on its words, China knows very well that only in this way can the United States negotiate well with China.
