In a stunning 48-hour turnaround, People’s Republic of China appears to have yielded. On October 24, the Donald Trump administration announced plans to impose double-digit tariffs—up to 100%—on about $300 billion of Chinese exports. Two days later, on October 26, Scott Bessent, U.S. Treasury Secretary, emerged from talks with Beijing and declared that China was “ready to make a deal.” Analysts are now reading that phrasing as more than just diplomacy—it signals that China has effectively accepted U.S. terms.
What really happened behind the scenes
While much of the world focused on the brinkmanship—tariffs rising, trade war escalating—several pivotal moves were made out of the spotlight:
Malaysia signed a deal for rare-earth supply.
Thailand secured processing rights.
Australia operationalised a $13 billion refinery.
Cambodia finalised extraction deals.
Together, these advances chipped away at China’s once-formidable grip on critical minerals and supply chains. The narrative is now: China entered the negotiations holding its usual weapon of rare-earth dominance—but the U.S. and its partners had already removed the bullets.
The scale of the change
In 2018, China oversaw around $758 billion in trade with the U.S., controlled roughly 90% of global rare-earth production and held manufacturing dominance. Fast-forward to 2025: trade is down to about $578 billion; rare-earth share has slipped toward 80%; supply chains are visibly shifting.
And with the 100% tariff threat looming for November 1, the pressure was real—and rapid.
Why “48 hours” matters
Contrast this with Phase 1 of U.S.–China trade talks back in 2019, which dragged on for 18 months. This time: 48 hours. Why? Because the U.S. had already set the trap. The tariff threat wasn’t just contingent—it was a countdown. The extraction and processing deals surrounding rare-earths weren’t reactionary—they were positioned in advance. China walked into talks fully aware that their leverage was evaporating.
So what did China actually gain—and lose?
On the surface: China avoided the 100% tariff. But the deeper reality is that they accepted limits on their strategic freedom:
Rare-earth leverage? Diminished. Alternative supplies are now operational.
Agricultural leverage? Reduced. Chinese purchases of U.S. soybeans are resuming because Beijing can’t afford resistance.
Tech sovereignty? Under pressure. U.S. controls on software and tech tied to China appear harder to reverse when Beijing has less bargaining power.
A new sentence in global economics
When Bessent said “China is ready to make a deal,” it wasn’t “both sides reached an agreement” or “productive negotiations concluded.” It’s a one-sided indication of capitulation: China has no viable alternative.
The formal 100 % tariff may have been shelved (or delayed), but the mechanism that forced China into this position? That’s the permanent change.
Where does the ~$3 trillion figure come into play?
With China’s dominance in AI infrastructure, semiconductor manufacturing and rare-earth supply chains now challenged, the U.S. and its allies are poised to capture the next phase of global tech investment — estimated at $3 trillion over the next several years. China’s 7 nm chips, large-language models and tech self-reliance dreams all hinge on supply chains and minerals they no longer exclusively control.
Geopolitical shockwaves
Taiwan: If Beijing’s economic leverage is hollowed out, military options become riskier.
Russia: China’s ability to buffer Moscow diminishes if it’s more constrained by U.S. terms.
Global South: Mid-level countries watching this unfold realise that challenging U.S. dominance via China might no longer be a viable alternative.
The bottom line
Bessent’s message was pointed: “You’re ready to deal” means “You’ve run out of options and we both know it.”
Globalisation hasn’t died—it’s transformed. What we’re seeing isn’t just another trade deal—it’s the restructuring of economic power and supply-chain sovereignty. China didn’t negotiate as an equal; it accepted terms. And in doing so, the era of dual-economic-poles may be ending.

Treasury Secretary Bessent’s announcement wasn't diplomacy; it was a verdict. Seven words told the story: “China is ready to make a deal.”
This wasn't a mutual agreement. It was a surrender.
In just 48 hours, President Trump’s 100% tariff threat forced the world's second-largest economy to fold.1 The tariff, set to expire November 1st, was never the real weapon. It was a countdown clock for a trap that had already been sprung.

The real story was China's "nuclear option"—its 80% monopoly on rare earth minerals.2 Beijing walked into negotiations holding a gun, not knowing America had already stolen the bullets.
While the world watched the tariff drama, the U.S. was moving in darkness, securing a new supply chain:
A pact with Malaysia.Processing rights in Thailand.An operational refinery in Australia.Extraction deals in Cambodia.3
In 72 hours, China’s primary leverage was rendered worthless.4 The 2019 "Phase 1" deal took 18 months.5 This capitulation took 48 hours because China had no cards left to play.6
What China just bought wasn't tariff relief. It was survival.
The true prize is the $3 trillion global AI infrastructure, which just became a Western-controlled monopoly.7 China's tech sovereignty dreams are finished. The geopolitical fallout is just as massive:
For Taiwan: Military options narrow to suicide.For Russia: China can't buffer Moscow without U.S. permission.8For the Global South: Their alternative to U.S. hegemony folded in a single weekend.
This wasn't a negotiation. It was a sentencing. America didn't win a trade war; it ended economic bipolarity. Globalization just became a protection racket, and China just made its first payment.

一开始，币价从1.2U慢慢跌到0.9U，整个盘面没有任何生气，没人敢再入场，大家开始心态崩塌，纷纷问自己：“是不是选错了币？”“再不割就归零了！” 然后，看到不断割肉的散户，庄家就在低位悄悄接筹。
接下来，突然一根大阴线把价格砸到0.7U，紧接着又迅速反弹到0.95U。这种V型反转，老韭菜简直无法抗拒，纷纷冲进场去抄底。庄家心里笑了——目的就是吸引这些抄底资金进场，再狠狠砸破前低，价格一路下探到0.65U，抄底者的血泪经历又开始了。
最绝的是最后的“恐慌吸筹收尾”。这个时候，项目方跑路，或者大户清仓的负面消息一涌而至，币价崩盘到0.5U，整个市场都陷入恐慌。但庄家就在这一片绝望中默默吸筹，链上的大宗转账几乎全在这个区域完成。
然后，黄金坑突然来临，庄家只用少量资金一口气拉盘，币价像火箭一样回到1U。曾经割肉的人开始犹豫是不是要追上，而新的资金却早就迫不及待地进场，市场就这样完成了一次完美的换血。
你要记住，洗盘的本质就是筹码的重新分配。庄家并不是抢你的币，而是“换人”——把那些低成本的老韭菜洗出去，换进一些成本高的新韭菜。这一波洗盘过后，新的牛市就要开始了。所以，下次遇到暴跌，不要只知道骂庄家，学会看懂其中的规律，才能真正理解币圈的游戏规则。
如果你能理解这一点，你就不再是黑夜中的瞎撞，而是拿着“灯”的那个人。你准备好跟上了吗？

У Биткоина есть одна известная проблема — он может быть медленным и дорогим для небольших платежей. Но есть решение, которое уже работает, — Lightning Network.
В чем проблема Биткоина?
Каждая транзакция в сети Биткоина должна быть записана в блокчейн. Это обеспечивает безопасность, но ограничивает скорость и повышает комиссии, особенно при высокой загрузке сети.
Представьте, что главная дорога постоянно стоит в пробке.
Что такое Lightning Network?
Lightning Network — это решение второго уровня (Layer 2), построенное поверх блокчейна Биткоина. Оно позволяет совершать мгновенные и почти бесплатные транзакции, не перегружая основную сеть.
Представьте, что вы открыли счет в кафе. Вы можете заказывать что угодно весь вечер, и только итоговый счет будет записан в вашу банковскую выписку.
Как это работает?
Пользователи создают платёжные каналы между собой. Внутри этих каналов можно отправлять неограниченное количество транзакций, и они будут подтверждаться мгновенно. Только открытие и закрытие канала записываются в основной блокчейн Биткоина, что делает процесс быстрым и дешевым.
Преимущества Lightning Network
Скорость: Транзакции происходят мгновенно, без ожидания подтверждений.
Низкие комиссии: Вы платите только за открытие и закрытие канала, что делает микроплатежи очень выгодными.
Масштабируемость: Lightning Network снимает нагрузку с основной сети Биткоина, позволяя ей обрабатывать миллионы транзакций в секунду.
Итог: Lightning Network — это ключ к тому, чтобы Биткоин стал не только «цифровым золотом», но и удобным средством для повседневных платежей.
