U.S. Says No Immediate Sanctions Against China as Trade Talks Continue; Chinese Key Resources Become Restrictive Factor

Foreign media reported today (September 4): "U.S. Ambassador to NATO Whittaker said that the U.S. has not imposed secondary sanctions on China for its support of Russia's aggression against Ukraine, because broader trade negotiations between the U.S. and China are still ongoing."

[Sarcastic] Comment: The statement by the U.S. ambassador to NATO that "the U.S. is not imposing secondary sanctions on China temporarily due to ongoing trade negotiations" is just an excuse. The real reason is likely the critical minerals, especially rare earths, which have caused the U.S. a lot of trouble. China's position in key resources such as rare earths is crucial. If Trump had implemented secondary sanctions against China, the U.S. related industries would have suffered serious damage. The so-called ongoing trade negotiations are merely an excuse for the U.S. to find an exit.
