Singapore Lianhe Zaobao reported today (June 10) that: "After more than six hours of consultations on Monday (June 9) local time, senior officials from China and the United States concluded their first day of negotiations in London. US President Trump said on Monday at the White House that he has been receiving good news from London so far, but also commented that 'China is not easy to deal with.'"
[Smart Comment]: At present, China and the US have once again arrived at a critical moment where they need to show their cards and negotiate terms. However, from the current situation, China appears much calmer than the US. While the US is trying to choke China, it simultaneously demands that China does not choke it. This contradictory attitude raises doubts: can both sides truly let go at the same time? One of the main goals of the US during this London meeting was to obtain rare earth resources. China's rare earth control policies have put significant pressure on the US in related fields, causing some difficulty in breathing. Then, if China relaxes its restrictions on the US regarding rare earth resources, what benefits will China gain?
