Tensions between the United States and China are escalating ahead of the upcoming summit involving Donald Trump.

The United States is tightening restrictions on semiconductor equipment exports to slow China’s development of advanced technologies, particularly AI chips. At the same time, Washington is increasing pressure in the energy sector by targeting transactions related to Iranian oil linked to China.

In response, China is strengthening control over its rare earth industry, tightening regulations across mining, processing, and distribution. Rare earth elements are critical for high-tech and defense industries, giving China significant leverage in global supply chains.

Experts suggest that China may be better positioned to withstand such pressure, having reduced its reliance on external partners and invested in domestic capabilities.

The Taiwan issue is also expected to be a key topic at the summit, adding a geopolitical dimension to the already complex economic rivalry.

Overall, the upcoming meeting is seen as a critical moment that could shape the trajectory of U.S.-China competition across economic and security domains.
