This round of China-U.S. trade war escalation has attracted the attention of the world. On October 9, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce launched the latest rare-earth policy, which deeply stimulated Trump. Then he suddenly announced: from November 1, 100% tariffs will be imposed on China. Plus the 30% now imposed on itself, that is, by November, U.S. tariffs will be up to 130%.

However, what Trump did not expect was that China was still choosing not to step back.On October 12, a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Commerce responded to this 130% tariff, and we still said: "China is not willing to fight a tariff war, but is not afraid to fight."

So, later that day, Trump and Vice President Vance made their latest statements one after another. Trump himself is still pretending to be calm, telling everyone not to worry, saying everything will be fine. Vance obviously couldn't sit still. Vance said: "This is a game that the United States must deal with carefully." At the same time, Vance also emphasized the following two points:

He said: ¡°The United States now has a lot of codes in its hands, more than China has.¡±

2. He shouted to China: "I hope China can be more rational. If China can be more rational, so will the United States."

Judging from Vance's words, the United States now gives China two choices:

The first option: if China is willing to step back, such as removing rare earth controls, then the United States can also step back, and this additional 100% tariff is not unable to be removed;

The second option: if China continues to insist, the United States will throw away all kinds of codes.

It sounds like both Vance and Trump have plans for the next situation. But in fact, they have long been in a hurry to call China. On October 12, local time, U.S. Trade Representative Greer revealed: Since China did not notify the United States in advance before introducing new rare earth controls, the United States quickly contacted the Chinese side as soon as it learned the news, but the Chinese side refused to answer the call.

It turned out that this was what really angered Trump and Vance: when China launched its rare earth policy, it did not inform the United States in advance, and it refused to answer their calls afterwards. But the question is that in order to ensure the safety of its strategic materials, China is fully qualified to disclose relevant policies according to its own needs. Why does it need to inform the United States in advance?

However, since things have evolved to this point today, there is nothing to say.Wans said that the U.S. has a lot of codes in its hands, then we¡¯ll wait to see how he plays out these codes. As for the U.S. rare-earth problem, from the news of the British Financial Times, the Pentagon is already doing the worst intention: the Pentagon is preparing to smash $1 billion and purchase a large number of rare-earth reserves.

Overall, more and more facts tell us that the trade war has not softened with the previous four rounds of China-U.S. negotiations. Controlling China¡¯s development has long become a consensus between both the U.S. parties and the establishmentists, in which case, what China can do is firmly take its own path, protect its strategic assets, while uniting more friends.
