Hey folks! China just reminded everyone that when it comes to trade spats with the U.S., talking it out is way better than throwing tariffs around 🙌. After U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned about hiking duties if the Chinese mainland kept limiting rare earth exports, China's Foreign Ministry stepped in with some straight talk.
At a recent briefing, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning stressed that regulators in the Chinese mainland have already laid out their rare earths export controls 🔍 and pointed to the Kuala Lumpur consultations as proof that teaming up and chatting is the way to go.
Threats and pressure don’t fix problems, Mao said, nailing the vibe that both sides should stick to the spirit from the Busan meeting. The goal? More stability in China-U.S. trade ties—and a smoother ride for the global economy 🌐.
For young pros here juggling fast-paced lives, this is a big deal. Rare earths power everything from your smartphone’s battery to electric cars and solar panels ☀️🔋. A tariff war can mean pricier gadgets or delays in green tech we all want.
So yeah, a little dialogue can go a long way. Let’s hope both sides keep the convo rolling and skip the tariff drama 🙏.
