china ready to expand cooperation with us on basis of mutual respect foreign ministry

The news discusses diplomatic talks between China and the US, with a specific mention of a potential extension of a temporary deal easing restrictions on Chinese exports of rare earth materials. This directly affects the rare earth supply chain, as China is a dominant producer. If the deal is extended, it could reduce supply constraints for US buyers, lowering prices or ensuring supply stability. However, the mechanism is weak as the deal is temporary and talks are ongoing; no concrete commercial impact is confirmed. The primary sector affected is mining and metals (rare earths).
