Not really a signal of appeasement...

US Treasury secretary Scott Bessent has accused China of trying to hurt the world’s economy after Beijing imposed sweeping export controls on rare earths and critical minerals, hitting global supply chains. Bessent told the FT that China’s introduction of the controls, three weeks before US President Donald Trump is expected to meet his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in South Korea, reflected problems in its own economy. “This is a sign of how weak their economy is, and they want to pull everybody else down with them,” Bessent said on Monday. https://lnkd.in/e2YHBgxP
