U.S. and China Clash Over Trade in London

TL;DR;

U.S. and Chinese trade officials met in London to de-escalate their trade dispute, with the U.S. seeking the resumption of critical mineral shipments from China and China wanting the U.S. to ease export rules and student visa limits. The trade tensions initially arose from tariff impositions by both countries, followed by a temporary truce that eventually broke down, highlighting deeper issues of power, data, AI, and tech dominance.
