In the past 72 hours, the Sino-US trade war has escalated again:

On the one hand, China has upgraded the control of rare earth and even controlled the export of rare earth technology.

On the other hand, it was Trump¡¯s anger. Trump threatened to impose a 100% tariff on China from November 1. What¡¯s more unthinkable, he revealed, ¡°Maybe Boeing will cut off all parts from China.¡±

The reason why Trump became so angry this time is that the rhythm of his "reciprocal tariffs" has been completely disrupted by China. He knew that without rare earths, the United States 'sixth-generation F-47 project and a large number of shipbuilding projects could not be carried out. At this point, Trump has now completely woken up: the most important thing now is not to protect U.S. trade, but to stabilize the U.S. military first. In terms of trade, China and the United States can still slowly fight each other, but if there is chaos within the U.S. military, then everything will be over.

So, on November 1, local time, that is, when the U.S. government stopped for 11 days, Trump issued a presidential order to U.S. Defence Secretary Hegerseth: "In any case, all available funds must be used, and it must be ensured that the U.S. military will receive the salary!"

According to American media reports, the salaries of 1.3 million American soldiers should be paid on October 15th, including the time required for the payment procedure. Therefore, if Hegseth hasn't raised the money before October 13th, then everyone will definitely not be able to receive the money on time. According to The New York Times and other media reports, military families have lined up to receive relief funds.

The question now lies: Where should Hergesset raise that money? According to current U.S. laws, Hergesset¡¯s means of raise must be transparent and not accepting contributions from foreign capital. At the same time, Trump¡¯s personal is not able to raise money from his huge business empire. Experts comment that Hergesset¡¯s biggest possibility is to use the Pentagon¡¯s own ¡°emergency reserve funds,¡± which are used by the Pentagon to reserve to deal with emergency warfare.

For this matter, netizens all over the world are concerned, because this is the "first time in history" U.S. military is not paying wages on such a large scale. there are Middle East netizens said: "For the honour of the United States, believe that U.S. military officers even if hungry, will hold up, defend their country!" this word, but let us think of the most astonishing words of the U.S. Army Secretary Daniel Dreiscoll in the past few days. The Warhawk general said, although China is now more advanced technology, but the U.S. military has the general will of steel!

To sum up, no one can tell clearly how the Pentagon will weather this difficulty. Even if 1.3 million American soldiers can get paid in the end, the internal problems of the US military have been completely exposed to the world. No wonder, several US military generals are in a hurry to resign recently! Under such circumstances, what Trump can do when facing China is to continue his means: sometimes coercion, sometimes lure, sometimes woo allies, and sometimes suppress China's neighboring countries. In short, China is already too familiar with these routines, and there are already ways to deal with them one by one. What else happens next, let's keep an eye on it.
