US Finance Minister Scott Besant has said that the export restrictions imposed by China on rare minerals have proved to be a ‘mistake’ for it. These steps made the world realize how Beijing can use these important resources to exert pressure.

Controversy increases over export control
In October, China had implemented new rules on the export of technologies related to rare metals. This thing is considered very important for defence, automobile, consumer electronics and many industries. Due to these sanctions, tension had increased in trade negotiations between America and China. However, following President Xi Jinping and Donald Trump’s meeting on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in South Korea this week, China announced it would suspend some export restrictions for a year.

‘China has made the world realize the danger’- Besant
Speaking to the Financial Times, Besant said, ‘China has alerted everyone about the danger. He has really made a mistake. According to him, ‘Showing weapons is one thing, but firing bullets in the air is another matter.’

movement in the global market
Control over rare metals had increased volatility in markets around the world and affected supply chains. This area is considered a major means for China to create international influence. Besant says that now it will not be easy for China to take a similar step again, because many countries including America have ‘prepared options’ against it. He said, ‘China’s leadership team was a little nervous about the global reaction.’

China’s President took America to task
Xi Jinping took on Trump on Friday at the ongoing APEC summit in South Korea. He told leaders of the Asia-Pacific region that his country would help defend global free trade at the annual economic regional forum, which US President Donald Trump ignored.

Reliance impots ethane gas: When a tariff was imposed on countries around the world in April this year on behalf of President Donald Trump, the trade war between the US and China was stirred up globally. Many companies including Apple made up their mind to shift business from Beijing to India. Apple is investing in large quantities in India. This exasperation is going on continuously to China. Recently, the report came out that Apple phone manufacturer Foxcony sent back Chinese engineer and technician.

Foxcon has a Apple plant in South India, where work was going on on the production of iPhone with a rapidly. But with the back of Chinese engineers, its speed may slow down. The news of pressure from China was constantly revealed. meanwhile. A report from Bloomberg has been revealed. It says that India can get a big benefit of trade war between China and America. Actually, the ship of Ethane from America to go to China is coming to India and the country’s famous industrialist Mukesh Ambani is waiting for that ship.

Advantage of US-China Trade War

This Jahat, named STL Quiziang, is taking Ethane gas from America and is reaching Gujarat directly from the Gulf Coast. Here this ethane gas is reaching the Reliance terminal in Dahej here. Here a unit was created by Reliance in the year 2017, and makes ethylene chemical from this ethane gas. It is used for plastic and other works.

There is also a reality that even though the world’s legendary industrialist Mukesh Ambani has created a big business of about $ 57 billion from retail and digital business, the oil to chemicals are their big old earnings, which earns about $ 74 billion annually.

How much dependence on ethane?

Earlier, Naftha was used by Reliance or the rest of the company to make ethylene chemical. It used to get out of refining crude oil. But the big problem in this was that only thirty percent of gas was used correctly in preparing ethylene, while its uplutter gives up to eighty percent of the gas.

In such a situation, after the formation of more effective option at the ethane gas, however, it is not clear how much the dependence of companies like India especially Reliance will increase in the coming days. The reason for this is that the economy of the country still rests on oil, but if it is transmitted and dependence on ethane increases in the coming time, then the entire fuel economy of the country can show a big change.

Although one of the reality is that there is currently a break on trade war between the US and China, but its consumption in India is less than China. In such a situation, India can buy ethane to a great extent in the coming days.

Trump said in his statement, “When and how the conversation will happen, it is not to be decided by China. We do not have to deal with them but they have to compromise us. There is a difference between China and other countries.”

Caroline Levit released a statement

White House press secretary Caroline Lewit said in a media briefing, “The President has made a lot of clear about China and has just shared another statement with me in the Oval office, which I want to tell.”

Lewitt said, “Now the balls are in China’s court. China needs to compromise with America. We do not need a compromise with them. There is no difference between China and other countries, except that they (China) are very big.”

Citing Trump, he further said that China and the rest of the countries want the US-America customers. In clear words, “they need our money.” Lewitt said, “The President has once again made it clear that he is ready for a compromise with China, but in reality China will have to compromise with the US.”
