    I read an article this morning that I now can’t find opining that trade restrictions are a sticking point that have forced the London trade talks between China and the US into a 3rd day.

    Notably, Chinese rare earths and rare earths magnets desperately needed by US defence contractors to build missiles being depleted by Israel and Ukraine, and a range of other critical military hardware including F35’s.

    Notably advanced US chips and electronic components desperately needed by China for military hardware and innovative hi-tech like AI.

    Never mind that the US car industry is grinding to a halt over rare earth and rare earths magnets shortages.
