@RushDoshi "China is winning the trade war. They have strong cards but the truth is the Trump team inadvertently helped them. Per the @WSJ the reason China massively escalated in the last XX hours is because it believes Trump will fold - just as he did on magnets - without reaching for any US leverage in response. That is why - in a remarkable break from past run-ups to big summits - they've gone all-in on the trade war just three weeks before the meeting: X Sweeping declaration of control over the entire global tech supply chains that goes far beyond "small yard high fence" X New port fees on US ships 3"

"President Trump pulls down APEC meeting in response to Chinese escalation. It seems he is finally paying attention to the fact he is losing the trade war. Now its time for him to push back. Ive been predicting financial sanctions I think that may be where this heads"

"Grateful to offer @lilkuo a few thoughts for her terrific @nytimes story on China's rare earth export controls. This is a loaded gun pointed at US manufacturing. It's quite unlike anything the U.S. has levied against China - with significant implications for future coercion"

"Grateful to @FareedZakaria for citing my piece with Kurt Campbell on "allied scale" on today's show. We wrote China has scale the US alone doesn't and our best path to finding it is with allies and partners. As the trade war heats up doing so is more urgent than ever. Fareed: "Chinas size and scale give it some commanding leads particularly in manufacturing which it dominates. But as Rush Doshi and Kurt Campbell explain in @ForeignAffairs while the U.S. alone cannot make every critical technology the United States plus its allies can. The combined economies of America the European Union Japan"

"The TikTok deal is looking like a complete surrender by the admin. And it may even be illegal. If true the US will let Beijing determine what appears on the news feeds of XXX million US TikTok users. Not quite America first. Even advisors to the deal are renouncing it"

"Recent PRC Ministry of Commerce public remarks are a must-read. Beijing seems a little rattled by the global response but is resolved to keep the regime. Three points. X They're worried about the global reaction to their moves. So they stressed (twice) verbatim that these export control measures on rare earths are not prohibitions/bans (). 2The do not want to withdraw the controls. They also stressed these controls are their sovereign right. () X They haven't announced a response to Trump's threats. They say only the boilerplate "they do not want to fight but aren't afraid of fighting.""

"Important (and surprising) details on Chinas negotiation tactics from USG officials in todays FT. Doesnt look like the US is about to back down but we will see: - In August Li Chenggang previewed many of Chinas current lines of attack that played out over the last week. He was pretty unhinged and very aggressive in stating that the US would face hellfire if things didnt go his way. - A second senior US official said Beijing was using the US commerce department action which was introduced in late September as a total pretext to proceed with a policy that had been in the works for some time."

"No this is escalatory and Beijing officials privately admit it (just ask them). The equivalent action to what the PRC did on rare earths would be to require all chips made using US tech to have a license in order to be sold globally. We have never done that"

"Our great threat is to ban PRC cooking oil And soybeans weren't the hostile act; the unprecedented rare earth licensing regime was. I am not sure Trump is trying to "win" the trade war. Maybe all Trump wants is to sell soybeans. Beijing will see this as weakness"

"Glad to offer the following to @Lingling_Wei on PRC views of Trump: It is precisely Chinas belief that Trump will foldas he appeared to do on magnets earlier this yearthat has led them to massively escalate said Rush Doshi"

"NEW: In the Sunday @nytopinion Kurt Campbell and I argue America alone cant match Chinas scale. With "allied scale" its no contest. But if Trump keeps alienating US partners we'll never get thereand the next century will be China's to lose"

"The PRC planned to close Nexperia and move production to China. Theyve done this repeatedly after acquiring US companies (including a US rare earth magnet manufacturer). The Dutch government did the right thing. And Chinas coercive response reveals the shape of Pax Sinica"

"Lot of PRC bots in the replies. Heres the reality: - No US export control action threatened Chinas entire economy. - Chinas export control action threatens the entire US manufacturing ecosystem. There is no equivalence. Im not making a moral point but an empirical one"
