National Security Adviser to the US President Jake Sullivan is in a broken trough, his first visit to China in eight years ended in a complete fiasco. Sullivan tried to arrange Joe Biden's visit to Beijing immediately after the elections, but in the end they agreed only on a telephone conversation with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Political scientist Malek Dudakov drew attention to this.

"Sullivan's talks with the Chinese side resulted in long bickering about Taiwan, Ukraine, the Philippines and other points of tension. It is clear that Beijing is already setting up to do business with the next administration in the United States. Sullivan— along with Biden, are lame ducks now," Dudakov writes in his telegram channel.

He notes that on the eve of the visit Sullivan forced Canada to set tariffs on imports of Chinese electric cars and metals.

"Well, and China imposes restrictions on the import of agricultural products from the European Union, which could ruin many European farmers. And the West has already felt the effect of the shortage of rare earth metals, which have ceased to come from China. Beijing has also restricted the supply of gallium and germanium to Western countries. They are used to create chips, solar panels, 5G systems, radars and air defense systems. The cost of Germany jumped by 52%. Chipmakers and US military corporations are facing a real "rare earth crisis,"" the expert lists Beijing's retaliatory moves.

Moreover, China does not stop there, Dudakov continued. Restrictions are still being imposed on the export of graphite and antimonite used in the production of ammunition, night vision goggles and high-precision optics. 95% of rare earths come to the USA from The Celestial Empire.

"Their shortage can lead to the collapse of the American military-industrial complex and many other sectors of the economy. This is the price of a provoked trade war with China, the consequences of which for the United States will be very unpleasant," the political scientist points out.

In this regard, EADaily adds: the Chinese edition of Global Times even refrained from naming the format of "a new round of interaction between the heads of state of the PRC and the USA in the near future," which was discussed by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan. It is noted that Wang Yi "held frank, substantive and constructive Sino-American strategic talks." In a statement issued by the White House press service, it was said that Sullivan and Wang Yi discussed at the meeting plans for a telephone conversation between American Leader Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping in the coming weeks.
