Target Taiwan - Lyle Goldstein Special series to assess the military and political dynamics of an all-out Chinese invasion of Taiwan https://www.defensepriorities.org/exp... The conversation discusses the state of U.S.–China relations amid renewed tariff tensions and upcoming talks. The speaker notes low expectations for the meeting, hoping simply for a cordial handshake without market disruption. They trace the current standoff back to Trump’s first term, citing the 2020 crackdown on Huawei as the real start of the trade war. The recent escalation — major tariffs imposed by Trump on China and China’s retaliatory tariffs — eventually led to a short-lived truce in May. Both sides recognized that their economies are deeply interdependent, making prolonged conflict unsustainable. The speaker criticizes Peter Navarro’s hardline influence while noting that other China hawks like Pompeo are gone. They argue that although U.S. complaints about unfair trade and China’s undervalued currency are legitimate, Americans have also benefited from cheap Chinese goods and agricultural exports to China. The relationship, they say, is mutually dependent and needs a “win-win” approach. The discussion then turns to China’s October export restrictions on rare earth minerals, which are vital for semiconductors, AI systems, electric motors, and U.S. defense manufacturing (including submarines). The move is seen as highly significant and deliberately aimed at America’s defense sector. Analysts debate the motive: it may be retaliation for new U.S. export restrictions in September, but the scale suggests long-term planning. The New York Times framed it as China “beating the U.S. at its own game” — using strategic resource control as leverage, just as the U.S. has done with technology exports.
