    What we know so far of the China-US deal, per Trump & Greer: - One-year deal, Trump predicts it'll be renewed - China pauses rare earths export controls - China buys soybeans - Trump cuts the China tariff by 10 percentage points (fentanyl tariff goes from 20 to 10) (1/3)

    China is only rolling back for one year the additional REE controls announced 9 October, not the global REE controls and licensing implemented in April 2025. It's unclear if the roll back is US-specific or global. Key Details of the 9 October REE Announcement: - Expanded Scope

    “For decades China talked about trade as a ‘ballast’ in the relationship. Now it sees trade as both a sword and a shield in a strategic competition,” said Sara Schuman, who was until recently a top US trade negotiator on China. @Dimi @leahyjoseph https://www.ft.com/...

    The US-China deal is significant not because of the pause on proposed restrictions—which were leverage rather than for real as I've been saying, but because it paved the way to serious negotiations. The 1-year pause confirmed my prediction that a deal by end-2026 is well on track

    Overall, it seems like US and China established a trade ceasefire. Lots of things got rolled back, but for one year only. That's why I call it a ceasefire rather than truce (which would be more permanent). Seems to me like it is mostly Trump who rolled back some of his tweets,

    President Trump says he and President Xi didn't discuss Blackwell chips. Seems to allude to it now being a Jensen x Xi conversation going forward? Unclear. Remarkable power for Nvidia to have though; as noted before, basically a sovereign power in many ways now. [image]

    This is terribly dangerous.  —  It's unnecessary and inflammatory.  —  The US led the world to stop detonating nukes at the end of the cold war.  Trump is 100% wrong here.  We do not need to detonate more nuclear weapons.  —  www.bbc.com/news/article...

    “Trump said he got a commitment from Xi to purchase soybeans from American farmers, curb the flow of fentanyl and postpone its export restrictions on rare earths” But that TikTok “deal” remains in limbo.... https://www.politico.com/...
  • @policytensor @policytensor on x
    Here's what a far-reaching deal would look like: The US commits to (1) strict neutrality on the Taiwan question—let the Chinas work it out; (2) remove the chips controls. China (1) removes rare earth controls; (2) agrees to sell TSMC to US investors and guarantees
  • @dimi Demetri on x
    China's commerce ministry said the US agreed to postpone for a year plans to put thousands of Chinese companies on a trade blacklist known as the entity list. China had justified its rare earth export controls by pointing to the US announcing the blacklistings.
  • @gonglei89 Lei Gong on x
    Look no more! China got *all this* in exchange for some soy bean purchases and help on fentanyl, *and they didn't even give anything substantial on rare earth export controls except a promise to play nice for a year* 🤣🤣🤣 So much winning! Going to go eat some tacos now 😋 [image]

    Chinese concessions (beans purchases, pause on rare earth export controls) were telegraphed in advance. US concessions seem to include -cutting the term 2 tariff on China from 30% to 20% (= to most of emerging Asia) -dropping the shipping 301 -[welcoming investment?] 1/2
  • @fbermingham Finbarr Bermingham on x
    If anything, Trump-Xi talks have emphasised the tight spot the EU is in going into tomorrow's talks on export controls with China. In order to lift rare earth restrictions for a year, Trump lowered tariffs, seems to have opened the door to Chinese investments, and paused probes
  • @gonglei89 Lei Gong on x
    So uh China doesn't make any changes on rare earth export controls and gets tariff reductions. In case no one caught on China didn't actually start blocking REE exports when they announced controls and a “1 year agreement” can be ripped up unilaterally whenever they feel like it.
  • @themichaelevery Michael Every on x
    Having read the read outs, I still can read correctly if China has dropped its rare earth export controls for the U.S. for a year, or for everyone globally. Which makes more sense for both parties? The cynic in me says 'just for the U.S., but I stand to be corrected. [image]
