The USA does have some cards to play against China, for example the export of jet engines for the Chinese C919, which it has now stopped exporting to China in an attempt to cripple China's aviation sector. Suffice to say, whether the USA and its allies try to cripple China's aviation sector or not, the writing is on the wall that China is going all out to conquer the aviation sector as well.
Those that argue about how detrimental this is for China's development of its C919 planes and subsequent planes, fails to realize that it is a move that is going to hurt the USA more than mere jet engine sales to China. Jet engines need rare earth elements that are all controlled by China and China could put the squeeze further to stifle the making of such jet engines even more difficult. So, it is a case of killing the chicken that lays the eggs or preventing the eggs from hatching into a chicken? Which comes first?
The USA should have learnt lessons from the International Space Station fiasco it engineered by keeping China from participating in experiments in the ISS and how China was able to turn the tables on the USA by sending up the Tiangong Space Station all by itself.
Another lesson that the USA should also have learned was the attempt to collapse Huawei by using all avenues to prevent Huawei from making use of the Android system for its phones and computer operating systems. Huawei is now stronger than ever with its own operating system and platform. There is a saying that what does not kill the victim will make it stronger.
It will only be a question of time before China solves the teething problems regarding its jet engine development and be self-reliant. China needs thousands of commercial jets for its domestic market alone, even if certification for the global operation of its C919 is denied, which means tens of thousands of new jet engines will be needed. China has all the rare earth materials to build them and will be building them. What are those jet engine manufacturers in the USA and Japan going to do without the Chinese market? Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs is a stupid idea。

China only now wields its rare earth weapon against the US because it just finally got rid of its dependency on the US for critical element helium - from 95% to just 5% . . .
Trump has more cards left, like the lewd birthday card he sent to Jeffrey Epstein, LOL.
Two weeks from now, Trump is going to meet Putin. Again, how credible is that timeline.
Trump is going to use his military to destroy Hamas if the killing in Gaza does not stop. I really do not understand a word of that threat. Who are really killing the Palestinians in Gaza? Israel or Hamas? In other words, Trump will target Hamas if Israel continues with the killing. Correct me if I am not interpreting the threat correctly?
Now, I am beginning to be more optimistic that the peace deal is going to crumble with a mad man making such unfounded claims just to allow the USA to be dragged directly into the conflict.
It is always Trump, setting timelines and putting words in other people's mouth. It is best to just keep quiet when dealing with Trump, as he is using psychological pressure to elicit a positive response. Xi knows his stale game and so does Putin.
Little Britain, is still trying to sound like a superpower once again, claiming that China is a threat to the UK daily. It would be better for the world if this little poodle just kept quiet and stop barking in order not to elicit criticism. Did the PLA just launch an attack on the UK or is the poodle just barking to please its master? Kier Stammer had been humiliated at the peace meeting in Egypt when he had nothing positive to contribute and had to just sniff around like a stray dog having been told by Trump to shut up and stand behind.
Australian journalists, at a conference, ganged up and tried to corner Australia's former PM, Paul Keating about the threat from China and were roasted like piglets over a fire by Keating. Paul Keating bluntly asked them whether China had invaded Australia or given notice that it is going to attack Australia, which is what a threat really means. Those journalists were trying to use the occasion to demonize China regarding the disputes over iron ore and seafood from Australia, framing that as a threat to Australia.
Trade and commercial differences and disputes always arise in any situation involving companies and countries all over the world and is an everyday affair in every nook and corner, and if that is considered a threat the whole world would be at war with each other every minute of every day,
Pokemon too.
Hey, Donnie also issued gold visa cards for sale to rich people. Understand US$5 million each.
