The media reported on China's use of American tactics in the trade war with the United States

The Chinese authorities are borrowing the American strategy in countering the United States in the framework of the trade war. This was reported on October 20 by ABC News.

"China likes to condemn the United States for extending its powers too far beyond its borders, making demands on non-American companies. But when Beijing tried to retaliate against US interests this month, it did the same," the article says.

According to ABC News, the Chinese authorities have expanded the rules for the export of rare earth metals. Beijing has announced that it will require foreign firms to obtain Chinese government approval for the export of magnets containing even small amounts of rare earth materials of Chinese origin or manufactured using Chinese technology.

"This rule gives China control over virtually the entire global economy in the technology supply chain," said United States Trade Representative Jamison Greer.

According to the authors of the article, China is borrowing from a long-standing American policy: the foreign direct supply rule.
