Trump softened the tone on China, facilitating the tension of the trade, ensures: 'It will all be fine'

US President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Sunday (October 12) to address rising tensions with China, following his recent threat of imposing a 100% tariff on Chinese imports. In his post, Trump tried to secure China’s leadership: “Don’t worry about China, it’s all going well! Highly respected President XI just had a bad moment. He doesn’t want depression for his country, nor does I want to help China, don’t hurt it !!!” The statement comes amid a dispute over China’s new export control over rare earthminerals, which is essential for both consumers and military technologies. Trump’s post underlines his desire to frame the US China relationship as a cooperative, despite the increasing trade differences. Trump is threatening 100% tariff tension between the United States and China, as Trump threatened to impose a 100% tariff on Chinese imports in response to Beijing’s new export control on rare earthminerals. The dispute has expressed concern about global supply chains and international trade relations. Trump’s tariff threat will come into effect on November 1, 2025 or earlier, which targets Chinese imports over and beyond existing rates. He also played on potential export control over ‘Critical Software’ of US firms, without specifying the scope. China strikes back on rare nature restrictions that China responded to by its ministry on Sunday, with a fixed position: “We don’t want a tariff war, but we’re not afraid of one.” The ministry has called on dialogue on threats and warned that the US actions could cause reciprocal measures: “If the US side insists in practice, China will surely take corresponding measures to protect its legal rights and interests.” China’s new export rules require foreign enterprises to get approval from the government to carry out rare earth, which is critical to military and civilian products. The country controls almost 70% of the global rare earth mining and 90% of processing. JD Vance weighs in Vice President JD Vance, emphasizes the economic interests for the United States, with Fox News: “China has so much control over critical offering in the United States. This is the definition of a national emergency and justifies the president’s movement to set up tough rates.” He added that negotiations are still possible if China prefers to be “reasonable”: “However, if they are willing to be reasonable, then Donald Trump is always willing to be a reasonable negotiator. We will find out a lot in the weeks whether China wants to start a trade war with us or whether they actually want to be reasonable. ‘ Impact of rare earth controls rarely earthly elements are essential for products ranging from laptops, electric vehicles and jet cars to military technologies such as radar systems. The Ministry of Trade also highlighted the US actions that increased the tension, including new port fees on Chinese ships, which asked for the retention costs on US vessels. The US and China are working on continuing trading tensions, with rates and restrictions introduced earlier this year. While previous negotiations in Switzerland and the UK have reduced some rates, new export control has regained rare earth and critical technology friction. Trump has criticized China for his restrictions: “China becomes very hostile. They hold the world captive by limiting access to rare earth metals and magnets.” The president confirmed that a planned meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping during his journey in South Korea could still take place, depending on the development, although he had previously said that there was no reason for him to meet XI at Apec in South Korea.
