U.S. Treasury Secretary Biden said on the afternoon of October 17 local time: "Tonight, I will meet with my Chinese counterpart and hope that China shows respect."
[Witty] Comment a few words: The meeting time is in the morning on October 18 Beijing time, and the evening of October 17 in Eastern Time in the United States. This time selection is advantageous for China and also reflects the urgency of the United States to obtain Chinese rare earths. Biden mentioned respect, which is something that must be fought for. If the U.S. goes back on its word, where would the respect come from? After the meeting between the Chinese and U.S. delegations in Madrid, the U.S. has been making small moves, violating the consensus of "not adding pressure," leading to a more intense Sino-U.S. relationship.
