US Political News and Trump’s China visit

[MH.Yang]

Not spicy? Here in Germany the other day we went into a hot pot. The soup was poured in lots of dried chilly. Something like this below. A young Chinese couple sitting the opposite ordered a soup that was super spicy. Chills were more than the soup. He told that’s standard dish. That’s not for Vietnamese. I think accept roasted ducks or chicken rice there is nothing for me to eat in China.

The characteristic of Sichuan cuisine is numbing-spicy, rather than just spicy.

If we consider only the degree of spiciness, Sichuan cuisine is milder than Jiangxi cuisine (No.1), Hunan cuisine (No.2), and Guizhou cuisine (No.3).

I don't know if the Chinese government will lift the ban on the export of military rare earths; the F-35 is still using dumbbells for its radar.

I don't think so.

The reason is simple: the United States likes to use force too much.

The most likely scenario is to provide some rare earths according to regulatory provisions. These rare earths must be used by civilian companies.

It would be stupid for Chinese gov to lift the ban on export of military grade rare earths if in return the US doesn't at least stop or largely curtail selling advanced weapons to Taiwan in the future and US doesn't support the peaceful unification of Taiwan and China mainland. China should not give too much grounds to US for free, there are reports saying that China agrees to buy 200 Boeing airplanes (if they are safe ?), soya beans and beef, oil and liquefied natural gas (if they are not much more expensive ?). And what does China get out from these agreements, just to be friendly ?

Isn't China trying to get FAA and EASA certification for the C-919? Once they obtain those two certifications, is the Boeing purchase necessary? The C-919 is in the same class as the B-737 and A-320.

Based on the information currently available, there are at least three points.

First, some of the previously imposed additional tariffs have been reduced, while the implementation period for tariffs that had already been imposed has been extended.

Second, restrictions on semiconductor technology have been eased, including certain extraterritorial rules and similar measures.

Third, both sides have each proposed a list of goods worth 30 billion dollars for further tariff reductions and exemptions.

Of course, there is also Taiwan. Issues related to Taiwan were discussed behind closed doors.

More importantly, the products China is buying—whether agricultural products or energy—are things China actually needs, and the amount imported will mainly depend on market prices.

Second, buying Boeing aircraft is simply a way to reduce Airbus orders. In the eyes of China and the United States, Europe is nothing at all—just a bargaining chip used in negotiations.

There are reports (from AI) saying that China intends to relax restrictions on rare earths export to US. Don't known if that's only civilian ones or also includes military ones. And what does China get in return from such exports ?

In addition, everyone should pay attention to the Chinese entrepreneurs attending the meeting, including those from the automotive supply chain and the electronics and electrical products sectors.

This means that the United States will lower tariffs on the above-mentioned areas, Chinese electronic products will further enter the U.S. market, and companies in China’s automotive supply chain will become further integrated with the U.S. industrial supply chain.

China needs lots new airplanes in the coming two decades, thousands. C-919 production capacity is not nearly enough now.

The production volume of the C-919 is very low. It cannot even meet the demand of the Chinese domestic market.

Secondly, sanctions will only force China to develop all components independently, and the Chinese market is large enough to allow the C-919 to grow into a formidable competitor. Opening up markets to each other would instead stifle the growth of the C-919. The story of semiconductors and other goods serves as an example.

No relevant news has been found.

I believe military rare earths will not be supplied to the United States.

Currently, the situation is still that 'civilian rare earths require an application, and military rare earths are prohibited from export.'

Civilian rare earths have long been liberalized; American companies can purchase them simply by submitting documents for review.

What Trump wants is military-grade rare earths, primarily heavy rare earths. Apart from Lynas in Australia, which holds a portion of heavy rare earths, 97% of them are located in South and Central China.

However, I believe that as long as the United States can find sufficient bargaining chips, China will eventually lift the ban on heavy rare earths. Because we dowant to back the United States into a corner, nor can we afford the consequences of the United States going berserk. Americans can smash this world to pieces and then retreat to the Americas to stay home. But trading nations like us cannot afford a chaotic world. In any case we still need the U.S. military to maintain global order.

That sounds little bit appeasement.

We possess the capability to destroy the existing world order, but lack the ability to construct a new one. Furthermore, most Chinese are unwilling for China to bethe costs of maintaining world order. Given this, reaching a temporary compromise with the United States is the optimal choice.

Now, the US esp Trump wants the rest of the world to pay for the US to maintain world order through Pax Americana, lol.

If these fools do not feel the pain caused by the United States, how can they understand why China wants to create a multipolar world?

Didn't they support a unipolar world before?
