After nearly a year waiting to meet US President Donald Trump, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese sought to argue his country’s strategic value Monday – only for the “America first” leader to dominate the encounter by opining that Beijing had no plans to invade Taiwan and posed no real threat in the Indo-Pacific. “China doesn’t want to do that,” he insisted on Taiwan, during a press gaggle alongside Albanese, but later stated that the island will be one of the topics of discussion when...

16 h. ago China’s rare earth magnet exports to US plunge 29% as tensions simmer

The decline in China’s exports of rare earth magnets to the United States accelerated in September – a period predating Beijing’s expansion of controls over the flow of the critical minerals – an indication the prized items remain a major battleground in the ongoing trade war between the world’s two largest economies.

1 week ago China rolls out flurry of export controls, ‘major upgrade’ to rare earth curbs

China has levied a raft of new export controls related to rare earth materials, expanding the scope of restrictions well beyond those previously imposed, as it looks to cement its near-monopoly status in the sector and fend off attempts by the United States to gain a foothold in the critical minerals supply chain. In a flurry of activity on Thursday, the country’s Ministry of Commerce made a series of announcements outlining new limits on several varieties of products deemed sensitive to...
