U.S.-China Trade Truce Risks Falling Apart Over Rare-Earth Exports
The U.S.-China trade truce in Geneva earlier this month hinged on Beijing agreeing to resume crucial mineral exports. Now China is slow-walking the concession, and the pact is in jeopardy.

Hearing @lingling-wei.bsky.social talk thru this dynamic and the latest movements of the trade war on today’s @wsj.com THE JOURNAL pod was both helpful and not at all calming
Beijing’s inability to think beyond formal diplomatic protocol has been a mismatch w a Trump team willing to engage only w those closest to Xi. What lies ahead is likely to be a cycle of tit-for-tat retaliation, making it hard to even start negotiations in near term.

China Wanted to Negotiate With Trump. Now It’s Arming for Another Trade War.
Communication between Washington and Beijing is at a standstill, raising the prospects of a long cycle of tariff retaliation. “Trump and Xi are locked in a paradox of pressure and pride.”

In what may be an important article, Lingling Wei of the WSJ suggests that Beijing may be considering limiting Chinese exports to the US as a concession to the Trump administration.
