"No but I can read the scoreboard. I said Trump is losing but he has not (yet) lost. Its risky to back him into a corner. And he has cards to play. The question is whether he will. The track record here isnt great. In Term X he backed down on rare earth magnets without any meaningful retaliation. That is the original sin that brought us to this moment. In Term X he offered to lift export controls on Huawei and ZTE he told Xi to build caps in Xinjiang said Hong Kong was Chinas internal affair and offered to mediate between China and Taiwan. I wrote about this here in the NYT a year ago."

"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."

"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"

"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"

"It is precisely Chinas belief that Trump will fold that has led them to massively escalate. They think he is weak and also crazy but more weak than crazy. But he has cards is being backed into a corner and may escalate. If he folds again the tectonic plates will shift"

"Good frame here from Dean. China has crafted a policy that gives it the power to forbid any country on Earth from participating in the modern economy. Those who equate Chinas action with Americas chip controls are missing the sheer scale of what China has done"

"This account @teortaxesTex gets a lot of good faith engagement from China and tech policy experts. It shouldnt. Its proudly racist. Just found out the (anonymous) poster is obsessed with posting anti-Indian racial content focused on racial IQ pseudo-science and has a habit of calling any anonymous account with which it disagrees Indian and sub-human. This site is pretty messed up but still. Weird stuff"

"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"
