China should also make Mongolia pay for coal pollution and carelessness of not stopping deserfication which affect China and cost China billions every year . lol
In China’s case it isn’t so much coal pollution but overgrazing by Mongolian cattlemen. It causes desertification in Outer Mongolia and causes massive dust storms in Northern China when China’s own reforestation efforts have brought things under control in Inner Mongolia.

lol I was joking but it’s also kinda true though . Well maybe just give Russia a middle finger and invade/bring back Mongolia into China would be a good way of solving things ? lol following trumps logic lol

China doesn’t have sovereignty over Mongolia though. Unlike Trump, Xi will never resort to this sort of annexation tactic.

Trump is doing what Trump does. All these accusations coming before the now declared September summit in the US between Trump and Xi is the typical tactic of creating new points of tension to be negotiated so that if successful means the US didn’t give away anything while hoping to get more from what they always aimed from China.

I’ve heard that US attempts at an alternative rare earth supply source is only revealing how much more it’s going to cost the West than previously thought. It hasn’t changed how much dependent the US and the West is on China’s rare earths supply. Banning free Chinese AI where China isn’t making the money isn’t leverage in negotiations but it’s enough for China to put restrictions on the US.

I don’t understand why China continues to have meetings with the US. They break agreement after a few weeks or months. Before every meeting they always put sanctions on Chinese companies or tariffs to create leverage in discussions. These meetings achieve nothing positive, in fact I would argue it actively harms China.

It is true that the meetings do not necessarily achieve anything positive and lasting for China. But you have to consider what would happen in the opposite scenario where there are no meetings. Most likely the US would adopt increasingly hostile policies which would lead to a total break sooner or later. The meetings at least help to steady the ship and keep the relationship from a total rupture, which Xi has clearly calculated is not the best case scenario for China right now, while not really costing China much so why not have the meetings.

The Chinese do like to think they're as civilized as they think they are because why not just counter sanctions at the moment the US/West slaps theirs instead of waiting after a "thoughtful" period of time?
