🔴 U.S.-China Tensions Escalate: Trump’s New Export Ban Targets Chinese Tech | Trade War 2.0?

The U.S.-China rivalry is heating up again—this time with a massive shift in export control policy. The Trump administration just closed a critical loophole that allowed Chinese tech giants like Huawei to keep accessing U.S. semiconductor technology. Now, all subsidiaries of Entity List companies are automatically blacklisted—a move that's set to impact thousands of firms and escalate the trade war even further.

But is Washington shooting itself in the foot? The U.S. still relies heavily on critical minerals from China, which Beijing could restrict in retaliation. Meanwhile, Trump is also pushing forward on military production, adding a strategic dimension to the tech war.

💥 In this video, we break down:
✅ The latest U.S. export ban and its global implications
✅ How China might retaliate with rare earth mineral restrictions
✅ The upcoming Trump-Xi meeting at the APEC summit
✅ The ongoing TikTok drama and ByteDance divestment
✅ Why this isn’t just about chips—it’s about global power and control

As both nations prepare for a long-term tech and trade confrontation, questions arise:
🔹 Can diplomacy keep up with disruption?
🔹 Is a full-blown economic Cold War on the horizon?
🔹 What does this mean for global supply chains and the semiconductor industry?

📅 With the December TikTok deadline approaching and geopolitical tensions rising, the U.S.-China relationship may be on the brink of a new, unpredictable phase.
