There is no evidence this originated from US policy or politics but rather from the Chinese parent company asset stripping, but this will not help the perception of the narrative pushed by CCP aligned pundits
The White House plans to announce that Dutch chipmaker Nexperia's China facilities will resume shipments, a source familiar with the situation told Reuters, a key boost for auto manufacturers worldwide.

The US did not label China a strategic partner. Little bit of a different meeting
The U.S. just had the exact same meeting.

🇨🇳Starting on Nov. 1, China will no longer allow retailers to offset a value-added tax when selling #gold they bought from the Shanghai Gold Exchange, whether sold directly or after processing, according a new legislation from the Ministry of Finance. The rule covers both

This is absolutely and completely false. Wingtech, the Nexperia parent company, sold most of its assets and likely Nexperia would have been included to a company completely on the entity list.
Dutch govt and Nexperia push themselves in a corner on 10/29 and then found out US sold them out by suspending BIS 50% rule after agreeing with Xi the next day 🤭 Dutch Nexperia interim CEO Stefan Tilger (which is not recognized by parent company Wingtech) sent letters to

Europe will literally do anything but work with the US
Bloomberg reports the EU is weighing a new trade measure that would require some Chinese exporters to supply critical raw materials to the bloc’s stockpiles when shipping certain goods into the EU. https://t.co/QMdfx3SVsI

Canada is not an ally
Chinese President Xi Jinping said Friday that China is ready to work with Canada to bring China-Canada relations back to the right track of healthy, stable and sustainable development at an early date for the better benefits of the two peoples. https://t.co/plswMBkDjG

Those Chinese "enterprises" are not enterprises in the traditional sense, but rather a arsenal of weapons used to achieve strategic goals. China itself is fully aware of this.

People do not grasp how deeply compromised so many parts of society are
I met a European journalist last weekend who told me that German carmakers are firmly opposed to tariffs on Chinese autos — because their strategy is to produce in China and ship back to Europe. I was stunned. That’s not just short-sighted; it borders on economic treason. They’re

Look thru have no leverage. China already took everything. You put yourself at their mercy, they took everything, and you lost. Let this be a lesson. Work with the US to address China or keep being stupid

Who won? Many would say China—it managed to get the US to scale back tariffs and restrictions. But few notice the web of agreements the US has just signed, with provisions on transshipment, rare earth cooperation, and more—things once thought impossible just months ago.

I remember so many of these
A friend from academia, someone I haven’t spoken to in years, saw my account and reached out privately. They asked to stay anonymous but wrote: “Of course I agree with what you say. Anyone with a head on their shoulders would agree. The question is, where did all the reasonable

I know keep pounding on it but when I say America has been sold out to our enemies I am not exaggerating
I don't recommend reading this @DanielMKishi article unless you have a strong stomach. U.S. policymakers actively gave rare earth dominance to China, even reviewing and approving the buyout of our leading magnet producer by Deng Xiaoping's sons-in-law. https://t.co/WnaLscsb4A

Stick in the same file as "crackdown on fentanyl" and "increase consumption" and "reduce debt growth"
"#China has sent a clear signal that it is willing to [finally] pull the plug on subsidies for its electric vehicle industry after yrs of big-ticket govt support fueled a boom that left the world's 2nd-largest economy saddled w/vast oversupply" Hooray? https://t.co/WwjuV20SWU
