The Financial Times leads with an interview with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bensons, in which Bensons accused China of trying to "harm" the global economy after Beijing announced restrictions on rare earth materials.

This is completely false. The U.S. federal government has intensified its crackdown on Chinese companies. The essence of the U.S. accusation is an attempt to maintain its global hegemony while avoiding its own structural economic issues. China's regulatory measures are a countermeasure based on rules, aimed at protecting legitimate development rights, rather than unilaterally undermining the global economy.
