Considering that the Asian giant supplies approximately \u00a070%\u00a0 of strategic minerals to the world, it could be said that \u00a0China is the global mine\u00a0 of an essential raw material for the technology industry. This gives it a privileged position to apply a standard of this caliber: any product manufactured outside of China with at least \u00a00.1% of materials\u00a0 of Chinese origin will require a \u00a0license for export\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 1 --> <\/p>\n<p>This means that China not only controls what leaves its territory but also what other countries produce using its materials and technologies. The new policy enables China to decide what is exported, to whom, and for what purpose\u2014all under national security criteria. After a few hours of digesting the news and speculating about a potential response from \u00a0Donald Trump\u00a0, and even his non-attendance at the next event where he will meet Chinese President \u00a0Xi Jinping\u00a0, the United States announced \u00a0unprecedented 100% tariffs\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 2 --><\/p>\n<h2>New Tariffs, More Control, and a Date That Invites Negotiation<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0The President of the United States has exploded\u00a0 on Truth Social, referring to the new regulations as \u201c<em>an extraordinarily aggressive stance on commercial matters<\/em>,\u201d and calling it \u201c<em>an extremely hostile letter<\/em>\u201d from China. He further emphasized the situation by stating that this policy is a \u201c<em>moral shame in dealing with other nations<\/em>,\u201d indicating that it affects not just the products they manufacture but also those they do not. Trump has asserted that \u201c<em>It was evidently a plan drawn up by them years ago.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a shocking move, Trump announced on \u00a0Truth Social\u00a0 that the United States will impose a new \u00a0100% tariff\u00a0 on China, which will be added to any other tariffs already in place. Importantly, this new tariff also includes \u00a0export controls on all critical software\u00a0. It\u2019s noteworthy that nearly all products imported from China into the United States are already subject to high tariffs, ranging from \u00a050% on steel and aluminum\u00a0 to only \u00a07.5% on consumer goods\u00a0, resulting in an effective tariff rate of around \u00a040%\u00a0, according to analysts from \u00a0Wells Fargo Economics\u00a0 and the \u00a0Federal Reserve Bank of New York\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Trump has left an important date for these measures to take effect: \u00a0November 1, 2025\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 3 -->  <\/p>\n<div class=\"article-asset-image article-asset-normal article-asset-center\">\n<div class=\"asset-content\">\n                    <a rel=\"noopener, noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/115351840469973590\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n         <img class=\"\" height=\"1210\" width=\"904\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  fetchpriority=\"high\"  src=\"https:\/\/i.blogs.es\/60f7ea\/captura-de_pantalla-2025-10-11-a-las-10.21.10\/450_1000.jpeg\" alt=\"Screenshot 2025 10 11 At 10 21 10\"\/><br \/>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Screenshot 2025-10-11 At 10 21 10\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/teknomers.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/The-US-reacts-to-Chinas-new-rare-earths-regulations-by.jpeg\"\/><br \/>\n     <\/a><\/p>\n<pre><code>  &lt;\/div&gt;<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<p>Looking between the lines, the date chosen by Trump is no coincidence. It aligns perfectly with China\u2019s timelines concerning the implementation of its rare earth measures. His message hints at a predisposition for \u00a0negotiation\u00a0, noting the threshold of \u00a0November 1, 2025 (or sooner, depending on actions or changes China takes)\u00a0. Trump emphasizes that he speaks on behalf of the United States, not \u201c<em>from other countries equally threatened<\/em>.\u201d This may serve as a rallying call for potential allies as the geopolitical landscape continues to evolve.<\/p>\n<p>This moment also brings into focus the historical background of both nations regarding rare earths. The complex relationship started around \u00a01978,\u00a0 when Chinese engineers visited key U.S. companies. Shortly thereafter, a vast empire of rare earth mining and production was established, making China a critical player in this lucrative industry. As of today, China&#8217;s position in the \u00a0global technology supply chain\u00a0 is unassailable, and the implications of its new regulations will resonate across various sectors. <\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/teknomers.com\/category\/general\/\" rel=\"dofollow\">General News &#8211; 2<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just a couple of days ago, we learned about \u00a0China&#8217;s new rare earth regulations\u00a0, which completely disrupted the global map of strategic minerals.
