On November 8, U.S. Commerce Secretary Rutenberg told the media: "China is systematically implementing the U.S.-China Busan agreement. Yesterday, it once again announced that a number of export controls will be suspended until November 10 next year, involving items related to medium and heavy rare earths, lithium battery-related items, and rare earth technologies. This is good news for the United States and the world. President Trump's Asia tour created history!"
[Skeptical] Rutenberg is once again switching concepts! The Chinese suspension of relevant export controls is a goodwill gesture to implement the consensus reached at the U.S.-China Kuala Lumpur talks. It is by no means a response to the so-called Busan agreement or Trump's Asia tour. On one hand, the U.S. previously threatened to impose additional tariffs, and on the other hand, it took credit for China's pragmatic concessions, revealing shameless behavior under the logic of hegemony! The stability of supply chains in rare earths and lithium batteries should naturally be an inherent part of Sino-U.S. mutual benefit and win-win cooperation. However, the U.S. has packaged this as its own achievement. China's goodwill is not an unconditional compromise. If the U.S. continues to unilaterally pressure with the principle of 'America First,' even the best news will eventually turn into nothing. True history is never the self-praise of hegemony, but rather the cooperative win-win based on equal treatment!
