Within 12 hours, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce issued a series of announcements, each of which hit the United States seven inches in a row. The United States, which was beaten in a row, was very unhappy, and Trump disobeyed, ready to retaliate against China.

On the 9th of October, the Ministry of Commerce of China issued a number of announcements and decisions involving exports of medium-sized rare earth, exports of rare earth technology, exports of rare earth-related items, lithium batteries, artificial graphic negative materials, and sanctions on foreign companies.

The United States just smashed Chinese companies, and the Chinese side immediately intensely launched retaliation, and Trump probably didn't think that the Chinese side would do so badly.¡£ Not only has the export of rare earths been strictly tightened, but also rare earth-related technologies have been restricted. The medium and heavy rare earths most needed by the U.S. military are listed separately, and the export requirements also mention that military users are not allowed to export in principle.

Now the United States has to worry again. The United States has been in contact with China for so long, and it is hoping that China can relax the restrictions on rare earths, but now it is increasingly difficult to get rare earths. U.S. military industrial companies are waiting for rare earth construction to start, and orders that have been delayed have to be postponed again. These rare earth products are expected to increase in price further. What makes the United States even more uncomfortable is that even if the United States is willing to pay several times the price, it cannot buy enough rare earths.

Trump, who has been hit hard by China, is naturally unconvinced, and he is ready to retaliate against Chinese airlines¡£

According to Observer. com, Reuters reported that on October 9 local time, Trump said he was planning to ban China airlines from flying over Russian airspace on flights to and from the United StatesTrump believes that Chinese flights fly this way, putting American airlines at a disadvantage.

The U.S. Department of Transportation also said in the proposed order that Chinese airlines' aircraft pass through Russian airspace was an important competitive factor, and they also proposed to ban Chinese airlines from flying over Russian airspace to narrow the gap between China and the U.S. Air Force.

American airlines have long complained, and now American airlines are in a rather embarrassing situationForeign airlines such as China, India, the United Arab Emirates, etc., can fly over Russian airspace, the United States has to go around, in which time and fuel are much more expensive than other airlines, of course, there is no competitiveness.

However, this situation of American airlines is still caused by the U.S. government itself¡£ The US itself first prohibited Russian airlines from flying over U.S. airspace, so Russia countered to prohibit the U.S. and some Western countries from flying over its airspace.¡£So the United States is just asking for trouble and pretending that it has been wronged.

American airlines need to fly detours, so the best and most direct way is to discuss with Russia to lift the airspace ban on both sidesIn this way, the United States can reduce losses and even to a certain extent ease relations with Russia.Now that Russia and Ukraine are in a period of advancing negotiations, Trump's doing so is also helpful for negotiations.

Unfortunately, the United States does not want to contact Russia. Instead, because its own interests are damaged, it wants others to suffer along with it. To put it bluntly, Just using this as a bargaining chip in negotiations with China¡£

China has just issued several announcements that directly hit the core interests of the United States in many ways.¡£ The United States, which is subject to China's supply of rare earths, really can't find any countermeasures. Trump previously claimed that he had the means to destroy China's economy, claiming that he could increase the tax to 200%. However, once the United States does so, it will also be a devastating blow to its own economy. Trump is just bragging.

In comparison, forcing China to change its course is less expensive¡£ After all, American airlines have been lobbying for the Trump administration to take measures. American airlines have already paid the cost. If he threatens China again, it will only increase the cost of Chinese airlines. Of course, Americans traveling to and from China and the United States will also bear part of the cost, but this will not affect the overall situation.

It is not the first time that the United States has the idea of sanctioning Chinese airlines. A Republican senator had previously suggested directly banning Chinese airlines from landing. But this proposal is too radical for Trump to adopt. In fact, Trump deliberately left room for easing this time. On the one hand, he waited for China's response, and on the other hand, the specific implementation had to wait until November.

Therefore, Trump's thoughts are very obvious. I just want to use China airlines as a bargaining chip to negotiate with China and test China's attitude. There is a high probability that it will not be implemented.
