US-China Trade War Intensifies Over Rare Earth Elements and Technology Exports
A high-level US-China meeting in London addressed the trade war's escalation due to China's export licensing of rare earth elements, impacting US defense technology firms; May saw a 34.5% drop in Chinese exports to the US and an 18% decrease in US imports to China, yet China increased overall exports by 4.8%.

Cognitive Concepts
Framing Bias
The narrative frames the conflict primarily from the perspective of the US and its concerns. While the Chinese perspective is included through quotes and actions, the emphasis is on US economic interests and concerns, potentially overlooking other important aspects of the situation from a Chinese point of view. The headline (if one were to be created) might be phrased to highlight US interests more prominently. For example, an emphasis on the potential easing of export restrictions for US companies shifts attention to the US perspective.
Language Bias
The article uses strong language, such as "guerra total" ("total war") and "estrangularse mutuamente" ("strangling each other"), which creates a sense of heightened tension and conflict. While descriptive, these terms might be considered emotionally charged. More neutral terms like "intense conflict" and "intense competition" could be used to describe the situation.
Bias by Omission
The article focuses heavily on the US-China trade war, mentioning the impact on exports and imports. However, it omits discussion of the broader global economic consequences of this conflict, the effects on other countries' economies, or the potential for alternative trade partners for both the US and China. It also lacks analysis of the social and political impacts on citizens in both countries.
False Dichotomy
The article presents a somewhat simplified view of the conflict as a struggle between two opposing forces (US and China) over rare earth minerals and advanced technologies. It doesn't fully explore the multifaceted nature of the conflict, which involves numerous other actors and factors like international laws, global supply chains, and the role of other nations in the rare earth mineral market. The 'eitheor' framing ignores the potential for collaborative solutions or alternative approaches.
Gender Bias
The article primarily focuses on male figures, such as Donald Trump, Kevin Hassett, Scott Bessent, Howard Lutnick, Jamieson Greener, and He Lifeng. There is no apparent gender bias in terms of language use or description but a lack of female representation in the decision-making roles is noticeable.
Sustainable Development Goals
The article highlights the US-China trade conflict centered around "rare earth" minerals and advanced technologies. A resolution would promote responsible consumption and production by encouraging fairer trade practices and preventing resource scarcity driven by conflict. The negotiations aim to ease restrictions on technology exports and increase the availability of rare earth minerals, which are crucial for various industries, fostering sustainable production chains.
