83 m. ago Ahead of US trade talks, China’s rare earth trade data from May sends a message

In a reflection of Beijing’s ability to quickly leverage its dominance over the critical-mineral supply chain, the value of rare earth elements exported by China last month plunged by nearly half compared with a year prior. The official data came as analysts have been saying that China’s export controls over large quantities of critical minerals are like the ultimate trump card in trade negotiations with the United States.

8 h. ago US tariffs hit China’s exports in May, but June seen as ‘a better month’

China’s export growth slowed last month, weighed down by fewer US orders being made before the two countries came to a 90-day tariff truce. And while June’s prospects look poised to improve, China’s manufacturing and trade sectors remain under strain, according to economists, who also point to lingering uncertainties over American tariffs. China’s May exports were up by 4.8 per cent, year on year, to US$316.1 billion, customs data showed on Monday. The figure followed April’s 8.1 per cent growth...
