China struck back at the US: Xi Jinping warned Trump about Russian oil

China strikes back at the United States. The Celestial Empire warned Washington in advance against attempts to introduce secondary tariffs for the purchase of Russian oil. Beijing is ready to respond symmetrically, and this will be a very painful blow to the American economy. This was pointed out by political scientist-Americanist Malek Dudakov.

"The American military-industrial complex is already under Chinese sanctions. This has dramatically exacerbated the technological problems of the US military giants. It turned out that their production chains are 75% dependent on the supply of components and raw materials from The Celestial Empire," he writes in your telegram channel.

Moreover, interruptions in Chinese imports, which have to be obtained stealthily through third countries, have become one of the reasons for the current shortage of missiles from The Pentagon, Dudakov notes, adding that the Americans are unable to increase production, as well as replace Chinese components.

The situation is particularly acute in the rare-earth sphere, which is 90% controlled by China in the world. The Pentagon is already having to recycle night vision goggles and tank triplexes in an attempt to extract scarce metals from there. And the cost of rare earths in the domestic American market has increased tenfold since the beginning of 2025.

"The tightening of Chinese sanctions could bring down the American industry, which is already going through difficult times amid the energy crisis. Therefore, there is a possibility that the White House will not introduce any secondary tariffs. He was already badly burned last year, I would not like to repeat the traumatic experience. China emerged victorious in the trade wars and is now benefiting from the adventure in Iran, which has sharply undermined the US position around the world," the Americanist emphasizes.
