Xinhua News Agency of Singapore reported today (November 17): "U.S. Treasury Secretary Biden said that the U.S. 'hopes' to finalize a rare earths agreement with China by the end of November before Thanksgiving."
[Witty] Comment: Is Biden not boasting domestically that the U.S. plus a group of allies can handle it on their own? Think about the past Panmunjom negotiations, where alternating between fighting and talking is normal, and the U.S. frequently changing its position is also common. The Chinese are very familiar with American habits; we are ready to have a good talk with open doors, but threats and containment will definitely not work.
