This is coming from the Financial Times, so this is what the serious, sane capitalists actually believe. Xi, please, you have to see what's happening, right? xi-button

From what I've seen, and I might be wrong, it seems like Chine backed down this week and gave America everything it wanted for nothing but a small decrease in tariffs. Rare Earth discussion was just delayed one year into the future. It looks like China leadership's plan is to double down on manufacturing and exports, even as the tariffs force them to export to Europe and neighboring Asian nations instead of the USA.

No. To my knowledge the controls for rare earths were only lifted for non-military use. This was reported in the media as "rare earths restrictions lifted" but is misleading.

Thank you, serves me right for relying on mainstream lib-news for any issue related to China.
