What is happening between the US and China?

Asked 1 day ago

Answer

US-China tensions have escalated over rare earth export controls, tariffs, and trade policies, with both sides accusing each other of unfair practices. The situation is marked by tit-for-tat measures, stalled negotiations, and warnings from global organizations about economic risks. Despite strong rhetoric and economic impacts, especially in sectors like agriculture, a major decoupling or comprehensive deal appears unlikely soon.
