China and the United States have diverged on the issue of export controls on rare earths, with China refusing to accept communication requests.

Foreign media: On October 12, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said that China has rejected the U.S. request to communicate on the issue of rare earth export controls, while President Trump tried to downplay the differences on social media.

Greer stated that China's move was unannounced and an act of "power grabbing," and revealed that after the U.S. learned about it through public channels, they immediately requested a call, but China "delayed responding."
