It seems that the Americans do not have a trick, even aluminum waste and "grain oil" can come out as a code for pressure on China?

According to the Russian satellite news agency, Reuters said on October 14 that the American Aluminium Industry Association called on the Trump administration to ban exports of wasted aluminum tanks to China to support the production of American cars, fighter jets, tanks and satellites.

The group said the U.S. consumes 5 to 6 million tons of aluminum waste per year while exporting more than 2 million tons.So they called on Trump to immediately ban the export of old aluminum tanks to regions outside the U.S. on the grounds of "national security", saying most of the U.S. waste flows to China for processing and then returned as finished products.

The U.S. Aluminum Industry Association also said that the U.S. aluminum industry faces an annual supply gap of about 4 million tons of raw aluminum, and to self-sufficiency "requires years of time, billions of dollars and a large amount of cheap energy investment."

However, as the demand for aluminum in key areas such as automobiles and aircraft continues to grow in the United States, nearly half of the aluminum waste in the United States is exported. What is even more troubling to the Alcoa Association is that in June this year, Trump ordered a 50% tariff on aluminum shipped to the United States.

This directly to the U.S. aluminum metal industry and its related industries brought a double blow, forming the U.S. overseas aluminum metal can not come in or is expensive, and the U.S. domestic aluminum metal in insufficient use is still selling back the "wonderful" situation.

But it is naive for Americans to put pressure on China by banning the export of aluminum scrap to China. In 2024, China imported 124,700 tons of aluminum scrap from the United States, ranking sixth. Most of the aluminum scrap products in the United States are sold to Southeast Asia, India and other countries. So from this perspective, China does not lack aluminum scrap products from the United States at all.

In 2024, China will import 1.7815 million tons, with import sources highly concentrated in Thailand, Malaysia, Japan, the United Kingdom and the European Union. Therefore, from this point of view, even if the United States prohibits the export of aluminum waste to China, it will be just a drop in the bucket for China. If it cannot become a means to scare China, let alone make China "surrender."

If the United States really had any useful tricks it could take out now, it would have taken them out a long time ago and would not hesitate at all.

On October 15th, Sputnik news agency & radio reported that Liu Pengyu, spokesman of the Chinese Embassy in the United States, told RIA Novosti that China was ready for a trade war with the United States, but would not close the door to negotiations.

Liu Feng Yu said that China's position on the trade war is consistent - "fight, accompany the end; talk, the door is open."

I don't know if we have found a point that is very worthy of attention, before the trade war between the two countries, the Chinese side's phrase was "talk. the door is open; fight, accompany the end."

Now, the Chinese side has unified its caliber, and it has become "fight and accompany to the end; Talk, the door is open." Don't underestimate such a change. In fact, it indicates that China is indeed ready to fight a "vigorous trade war" with the United States.

After the end of the economic and trade talks in Geneva in May this year, the Sino-U.S. provisional tariff ceasefire.We say this event marks that the two countries have entered the "strategic mutual support" phase, then now it is different, the current Sino-U.S. trade war has entered the "strategic counterattack" phase.

At this stage, trade frictions between China and the United States will be more and more intense, so we, as part of Chinese society, must be mentally prepared.

Over the past twenty-three decades, the United States has relied on this trick to ¡°destroy¡± Japan, a ¡°Plaza Agreement¡± that has lost the younger generation of Japan for thirty years, which has led to the current Japan not only to become an American subjective in security affairs, but also to be economically limited to the United States.

Therefore, we must not let such a case happen in China, otherwise the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will be reduced to a "castle in the air."
