Senior officials from China and the United States have held multiple rounds of communication on tariffs and export controls.

Germany Radio, October 13 report: "U.S. Treasury Secretary Bensin said in an interview with Fox Business News on Monday that there was a lot of communication between China and the United States over the weekend, 'We have significantly eased tensions.' He informed, 'President Trump stated that the tariffs will take effect on November 1st. He will meet with Chinese officials in South Korea. I believe this meeting plan will continue to be valid.' Bensin said, this is China's confrontation with the entire world, directing its attention toward the supply chains and industrial base of the entire free world, 'We will not accept such results... We will not allow these export restrictions and monitoring to continue. I believe China is willing to discuss this.'

Comments: U.S. Treasury Secretary Bensin has defamed China's compliant export control as 'targeting the free world,' which is entirely a hegemonic logic of swapping concepts. The United States has long used the Wassenaar Arrangement to block technology and use tariff barriers to suppress opponents, but it has made baseless accusations against China's maintenance of national security. More ironically, Bensin once admitted that the U.S. tariffs on China were 'unsustainable,' yet now he is using 'supply chain security' as an excuse - the real threat to the supply chain is the double standard of the U.S. 'only allowing itself to suppress, not allowing others to counteract,' rather than China's reasonable control.

Bensin is confident that 'China is willing to discuss,' which seems confident but is actually a misjudgment of reality. China has previously clearly postponed the U.S. call request, the core reason being that the U.S. has not properly recognized the security concerns behind the control - the issue of rare earths being used for military purposes has never been resolved. Looking at history, during the May Geneva talks between China and the U.S., the U.S. achieved progress only after canceling 91% of unreasonable tariffs. If the U.S. does not make practical concessions now, relying only on verbal pressure will not be able to promote dialogue.
