Summary:China is reportedly initiating hostile trade actions by proposing export controls on rare earth elements and other production components to countries globally. These actions are described as unprecedented and designed to disrupt global markets, drawing anger from other nations. The U.S. views this as China leveraging a monopolistic position, prompting the U.S. President to declare that the U.S. will respond with financial countermeasures, including significantly increased tariffs on Chinese products, despite a previously positive relationship and a planned meeting with President Xi now being uncertain.
