United States received a big bad news! Foreign media reported that China's control policy has had a shocking effect! On October 13, after Trump's position towards China became more moderate, the United States received a big bad news. Foreign media said that with the continued escalation of Sino-US trade friction, China's rare earth exports in September dropped by 31% compared to August, a decrease of 30.9% from August, setting a new low since February this year. Foreign media stated that China is significantly tightening its rare earth exports.
At the same time, foreign media believe that China's announcement last week to expand the control over rare earth exports has made a shocking impact. China is just imitating the US, using the same methods against the US. China wants to create an allergic reaction in the US, which is that as long as the US continues to suppress China in the future, the US will be reminded of this unprecedented control measures, making Trump realize that he must not act recklessly against China, and must control his bureaucratic system, so that it does not become an uncontrolled self-propelled cannon for being tough on China.
It must be said that the analysis of foreign media is quite correct. On one hand, there is a strong signal of obvious tightening of rare earth exports, and on the other hand, our unprecedented shock control measures, these two factors combined, will inevitably cause some psychological impact on the United States. Obviously, in the context of the US constantly taking small actions, this strong and powerful response is beneficial for the US to remember it well. In fact, after four rounds of Sino-US negotiations, the US still has so many small actions, which either indicates that Trump still wants to repeat the same tricks, or indicates that the US bureaucratic system lacks understanding of us.
Therefore, it is necessary for the US to learn to consider our response before taking action. Once the US forms this cognitive habit, dealing with China will be easier, and it can reduce unnecessary off-the-table tactics from the US, which interfere with the practical resolution of differences between the two sides. Obviously, there are two options in front of the US: first, if the US does not consider our feelings, the amount of rare earths it can obtain will drop sharply. Second, it should give way when necessary, withdraw the empty cards it has created, and talk to us properly. In short, making us uncomfortable essentially means making the US uncomfortable. Believe that the US will increasingly realize this point.
