China Halts Critical Exports as Trade War Intensifies
Are you sure China desperately needs to sell these products to the US? In 2023, China's export value of rare earth compounds, worldwide, was $763 million. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1230682/china-export-value-of-rare-earths/ In the same year, China's total exports were valued at $3.42 trillion. https://oec.world/en/profile/country/chn So rare earth exports represent approximately 0.02% of China's total exports. I can't find any statistics of what percentage of China's rare earth exports go to the US but even if it was 100% (which it obviously isn't) that means China could forgo the entirety of its rare earth exports to the US and still not feel the pinch . -

I’ve backpacked through Southpark Asia for years… now i feel quietly pushed out
Take no notice - there are always these types on here. I have been berated in the past because I seek out the best deals on flights because I don't just visit Thailand once a year, I travel often and am able to do that because I look for the best deals. I've only ever flown business class when I've been upgraded, yes its really nice but is it worth 3 x the price - no way. I sleep all the way in any case. I have a home in Thailand so don't often need hotels but when I do, I rarely pay more than 1500 in Bangkok or 800 in the provinces. Why pay more when decent places are available at those prices? When backpacking there are plenty of places much cheaper than that. There will always be those who like to massage their ego by flying business class and paying 5000 for a room - maybe they think others will be impressed? I tend to spend most of my time out of the hotel, if I wanted to stay in my room, I would stay at home. These people think you are broke because you like to travel cheaply - leave them to it. I suspect that those who make such claims are actually the broke ones.
