‘No retreat’: Key Trump ally urges continued US-China engagement on rare earths
US Republican Senator Steve Daines, a close aide to President Donald Trump and a key interlocutor between Washington and Beijing, has called on the two capitals to stay engaged and “not retreat” over differences on issues including rare earth supply chains. Daines told the South China Morning Post that both sides still had issues that predated Chinese President Xi Jinping’s state visit to Washington last week and that they would continue working on them after the summit. “So that’s again why...

Taiwan's first new F-16V fighter jets arrive to bolster defences against China
The first two of a batch of 66 new F-16V Block 70 fighter jets ordered in 2019 arrived in Taiwan on Friday after months of delays, helping to strengthen an air force that has to scramble almost daily to shadow China’s military. Taipei has complained of repeated delays to weapons ordered from the United States, its most important international backer and arms supplier. The delivery, to Taitung’s Chihhang Air Base on the island’s mountainous east coast, comes amid growing concern in Taiwan about the Trump administration’s commitment to arming Taipei, despite Washington saying there has been no change in policy. The aircraft, which flew via Hawaii and Guam, touched down at noon (0400 GMT or 9am PST). Speaking to reporters at parliament in Taipei shortly before, Defence Minister Wellington Koo said there would be other new F-16Vs arriving soon, though he did not give details. “Of course we won’t only have delivered these two by year-end,” he said. The United States in 2019 approved an $8 billion sale of Lockheed Martin F-16V fighter jets to Taiwan, a deal that would take the island’s F-16 fleet to more than 200 jets. But issues including software problems have delayed delivery of the planes. The arrival of the first two aircraft came almost exactly a week after US President Donald Trump met Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington. Trump said in May, after meeting Xi in Beijing, that he was holding a new $14 billion package for Taiwan in abeyance, though he did approve one worth $11 billion in December 2025. A Lockheed Martin F-16V fighter jet lands at Taitung’s Chihhang Air Base in Taitung as people watch from a nearby hotel in Taitung, Taiwan, on October 2, 2026. — Reuters The F-16Vs have advanced avionics, weapons and radar systems to better counter the Chinese air force, including its stealthy J-20 fighters, though Washington has been unwilling to provide Taiwan its most advanced fighters like the F-22 or F-35. An upgrade programme for Taiwan’s existing F-16s was completed in 2023. The United States is bound by law to provide Taiwan with the means to defend itself, but the two have no formal diplomatic relations. Beijing has repeatedly told Washington to stop arming Taiwan. The Chinese foreign ministry did not respond to a request for comment on the arrival of the F-16s. “We continue standing with friends and allies across the Indo-Pacific to advance our shared prosperity, security, and values — that includes Taiwan,” a US State Department spokesperson said when asked about the new F-16s.
Taiwan's first new F-16V fighter jets arrive to bolster defences against ChinaHow the US went from ‘a position of strength’ to ‘gung-ho’ on China
Not so long ago, Washington’s approach to relations with Beijing was anchored by a single assertive phrase: dealing “from a position of strength”. It was rooted in a unipolar mindset: a belief that the United States could dictate terms, manage competition unilaterally and demand compliance from a distance. Yet, at their recent summit, Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump formally established a new strategic framework: a “constructive strategic stability relationship based...
‘China model’ fallacies
ECONOMIC discourse in this country, especially with folks in governance circles, can throw up some very interesting — as well as disturbing — insights. A recent conversation brought up the interesting case of a preference for the ‘China model’. What is their conception of this model? Briefly, the belief is in an all-powerful centre that forces its economic commands through long-term plans across the entire country, whips up economic growth through major government interventions, and leaves a limited role for the lower tiers (local) of governance. It is worth contemplating whether these views align with ground realities. A good place to start is the recent paper by Fengming Lu and Xiao Ma, ‘The rise of China’s electric vehicle industry’, which helps demolish several myths. Champion EV firms like BYD and NIO are all private firms that did not get a single penny in state grants, which, instead, went to SOEs for EV research. Even more astonishing, these firms rose in cities the state apparatus did not identify for EV cluster development. How, then, did these firms accomplish this feat? The short answer: mayors of the cities that were left out teamed up with entrepreneurs, helping them usher in the latest achievement of China’s stellar development story. Notice that city mayors have the authority to act as they please within their locality. In this case, their initiative and actions undermined the SOEs. Yet, the central government never intervened to prevent it, thus demolishing the myth of an all-powerful centre that micromanages everything and does not tolerate local authority. The Chinese state mainly acts as a facilitator for development in any way it can. In Pakistan, it’s the opposite. China has a highly competitive and well-established local tier system. Passage to the higher echelons of the central party is possible only through performance at this level. Unlike in Pakistan, there is no chance of attaining a prominent party position merely by being a scion or progeny of a party head. (Interested readers can look up President Xi Jinping’s road to the presidency.) Second, it demonstrates that the state is willing to tolerate ‘creative destruction’, a term coined by economist Joseph Schumpeter, to describe how competition and creativity can render some businesses useless. This is classic capitalism, not socialism or communism. In the race for EVs, private competitors left state-run SOEs far behind, but the centre never intervened to prevent their slide. In fact, competition is so intense that it has led to price wars, with some firms expected to fail (one county reportedly lost 6.6 billion yuan on a carmaker it supported). Similar misconceptions exist around its long-term plans. These actually contain insights of tremendous depth, coming from top-tier experts. Plans are contemplated and debated at length rather than rushed through. The economic debates preceding the 14th party congress offer an apt illustration. In the wake of the Soviet Union’s collapse, between October and December 1991 (known as ‘eleven half-days’), the debate centred on why the USSR’s economy collapsed and what could be done to prevent the same from happening to China. The end result was the adoption of the famous ‘modern enterprise system’, approved by the party in November 1993, which enunciated “clear property rights, clearly defined rights and responsibilities, separation of government and enterprise, and scientific management”, that would prove to be a critical moment in China’s march to prosperity. The gist is that prevailing conceptions of China as a centrally administered economy with a benevolent dictator at the helm directing its stellar rise are misplaced. In fact, it is arguably the most decentralised governance system in the world, with more than 80 per cent of public expenditure at the local level, and mayors who enjoy independence in their fiscal and administrative decision-making. The centre is still very powerful, but not in a manner that we understand. It has some red lines that it enforces. The rich, for example, are not allowed to attain influence to an extent that they are in a position to manipulate the state apparatus by tailoring it in their favour to the detriment of the country and its people. This explains, for example, why Communist Party members are banned from holding golf club memberships. The underlying philosophy is simple: facilitate capital creation and growth, but prevent it from working against the public good and the country. The state mainly acts as a facilitator for development in any way it can. In Pakistan, it’s the complete opposite. Big capital dictates and manipulates policies, whether through tax exemptions or trillions doled out in public-sector contracts. The sugar mafia is a pertinent example, whose powerful members, sitting in the legislature, sway policies and regulations in their favour. (Note: the above should not be taken as advocacy for anti-capital formation policies. Instead, it should be viewed in terms of regulating capital’s negative spillovers.) And lest we forget, the corrupt in China are handed the death penalty. Try naming a few cases in Pakistan where a similar predicament befell the corrupt. In essence, China’s remarkable transformation to where it stands today constitutes a long, arduous, and messy process that began with Deng Xiaoping’s 1978 reforms, with the above merely offering a glimpse of that long journey. Why then clamour for this ‘model’ that no one in our power halls would be willing to implement? After all, that would be hara-kiri for a corrupt, compromised elite which thrives on central control and illegally accrued rents via this system. Well, more than four years into the current experiment, the economy is still struggling to get out of the stagflationary rut in which it has been stuck since 2022; the average GDP growth has barely surpassed population growth, and all the ‘game changers’ (SIFC, $6 trillion mineral wealth, corporate farming, crypto, and geopolitical rents) have fizzled out. Expectedly, in comes yet another game changer — the ‘China model’. I cannot speak for others, but if it were up to me, I’d start implementing this model tomorrow. I assume, though, that once the enthusiastic folks in power circles come to grips with what it really implies, they’ll discard it immediately. The writer is an economist.

‘China model’ fallaciesHegseth says US slashed 20pc of its military leadership cadre
• Describes cuts as ‘accountability’, while critics call them a purge • Musk set to co-lead Pentagon Project Meridian, a study on future of warfare WASHINGTON: Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth announced on Wednesday that the United States has slashed the number of its generals and admirals by 20 per cent, in a move he said is aimed at “accountability”. Hegseth suggested the cuts targeted officers who failed to get on board with his efforts to ensure the military is focused on war-fighting rather than the “woke” policies of previous administrations, describing the reductions as an “accomplishment”. “The number-crunchers say we fired 10pc of the generals and admirals across the force,” Hegseth told troops at the Quantico military base, saying: “We’ve also reduced the overall number of general officer slots by an additional 10pc.” “So yes, 20pc reduction across the board,” he said. “The media calls that a purge. I call it accountability, and long overdue.” The address to junior officers and enlisted personnel at Quantico came a year after a similar speech to top officers in which Hegseth said the US military was too fat, too focused on leftist “woke” ideas, and in need of major shake-up. He said on Wednesday that top officers who “responded positively” to the previous speech are “leading newly focused and newly empowered and disciplined formations”, while those who did not “no longer work here”. “We are no longer the woke department or the weak department,” Hegseth said. “Simple translation of that: no fatties, no trannies, no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps, no radicals. Just warriors — just tough, ready, committed troops.” Hegseth ordered major cuts to the US military — including a 10pc reduction to the overall number of generals and admirals, and a 20pc decrease in the highest four-star ranks — in May 2025. Musk’s return Meanwhile, tech billionaire Elon Musk will make a return to officially advising US President Donald Trump’s government by co-leading what the Pentagon called a study on the future of war. Musk served as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), where he spearheaded sweeping job cuts across the US federal government, before departing in May 2025. In a speech at the Quantico military base, Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth said “Project Meridian” will be “an effort led by America’s best minds to study the future of warfare”. “We are leveraging a unique source of American advantage, one our adversaries do not have: our innovators, our senior leaders and our technologists,” Hegseth said. Musk will be a co-leader of Project Meridian alongside Palmer Luckey, the 34-year-old co-founder of defence technology company Anduril Industries, and Newt Gingrich, the 83-year-old Republican former House speaker. Musk’s companies are already major Pentagon contractors, including SpaceX building satellite networks for Trump’s planned “Golden Dome” missile defence shield. On Tuesday he was seated next to Trump at a lunch with artificial intelligence executives, where he joined other tech leaders in signing a voluntary AI safety accord that the president described as “morally binding”. Last week, Musk attended the state dinner Trump hosted for Chinese President Xi Jinping, and in May he flew to Beijing on Air Force One as part of the business delegation accompanying Trump on his state visit to China.

ABD Başkanı, "İran asla nükleer silaha sahip olmayacak. Bu savaşı çok yakında kazanacağız ve her şey sona erecek. Benzin fiyatları da ciddi şekilde düşecek.

Iran says it ‘has no plans to negotiate with US’ despite Trump claims – US politics live
Trump had told Axios he expected talks to resume a day after he rejected Iran’s proposal to reopen the strait of Hormuz Hello and welcome to the US politics live blog. State media in Iran has reported that Iran’s delegation to the UN General Assembly had no talks planned with the United States, after US president Donald Trump said he expected more negotiations. The Trump administration on Monday plans to release new fuel economy standards that would relax regulatory requirements for automakers to control pollution from gasoline-powered cars and light trucks. President Donald Trump said on his Truth Social media account on Saturday that the less stringent mileage requirements would “take the waste out of building cars in America” and save families “thousands on a new, beautiful and safe car,” while boosting auto production in the US. Donald Trump’s attorney general Todd Blanche argued on Sunday that the administration was permitted to ban three news outlets from the White House because “it is a privilege and not a right to be there”. Appearing on the ABC News program This Week during the second week of the White House’s dispute over press credentialing and access, Blanche also said that the administration took the decision to ban CNN, MS Now and Politico beginning on 19 September because the president was “sick and tired” of what he considered to be those media outlets’ inaccurate reporting. US senator Thom Tillis on Sunday criticized Donald Trump, his fellow Republican, for the president’s support of Ken Paxton over incumbent John Cornyn in the Texas Senate Republican primary. “He made a colossal mistake,” Tillis, a frequent Trump critic from North Carolina, said during an interview on CNN’s State of the Union in reference to the president’s support of Paxton who defeated Cornyn in the May primary. The United States and China released Monday reciprocal lists of products worth about $30bn each that will see tariff cuts, in a deal expected to boost bilateral trade. The details came days after Chinese President Xi Jinping met with president Donald Trump in Washington in his first state visit to the US since 2015. Trump justified the pending US arms sale to Taiwan to Chinese president Xi Jinping by downplaying it as just one of many sales Washington makes around the world - even asking Xi if he’d be in the market for US arms, Trump’s ambassador to China said on Sunday. House Democrats are preparing a vast oversight agenda, with investigations of Trump, his family and his administration if the party sweeps control of the chamber from Republicans in the November elections.

ABD’li büyükelçiden açıklama geldi, Trump, Xi’ye silah teklifinde mi bulundu?
ABD'nin Pekin Büyükelçisi Perdue'nin Fox News'e verdiği röportaja göre Trump, Şi ile Beyaz Saray'da yaptığı görüşmede, silah satışını gündeme getirdi. Bu kapsamda Trump'ın Xi'ye ABD üretimi silahları satın almayı isteyip istemediğini sorduğunu aktaran Perdue, buna rağmen ABD'nin Tayvan'a yönelik tutumunda herhangi bir değişiklik olmadığına dikkati çekti. Perdue, "Trump şunu söylemeye devam ediyor, 'dünyanın dört bir yanındaki başka ülkelere de silah satıyoruz.' Hatta bir noktada Başkan Xi'ye kendilerinin de satın almak isteyip istemeyeceklerini sormuştu" dedi. Yunanistan'da Türkiye korkusu bitmiyor! İşte yeni senaryoları: Önleyici saldırı 'TAYVAN'IN BAĞIMSIZLI' KONUSUNDA DOĞRU DURUŞA SAHİP OLMA ÇAĞRISI Çin Devlet Başkanı Xi Jinping, 24 Eylül'de ABD'yi ziyaretinde Beyaz Saray'da Başkan Donald Trump ile görüşmüştü. Çin Dışişleri Bakanlığından görüşmeye ilişkin yapılan açıklamaya göre, Tayvan konusunda ülkesinin tutumunu yineleyerek, bu sorunun ulusal birliği ve toprak bütünlüğünü ilgilendirdiğini dile getiren Xi, Washington yönetimine, "Tayvan'ın bağımsızlığı" konusunda doğru duruşa sahip olma, Çin-ABD stratejik işbirliği ve ikili ilişkilerin gelişiminin temelini koruma çağrısında bulunmuştu. Çin: Xi’nin ABD ziyareti ikili ilişkiler yeniden konumlandırıldı Çin'in topraklarının parçası olduğunu savunduğu Tayvan, 1949'dan bu yana fiili bağımsızlığa sahip bulunuyor. Çin ana karası ile Tayvan arasında iç savaşın ardından ortaya çıkan ayrılık ve egemenlik ihtilafı sürüyor. Pekin yönetimi, "tek Çin" ilkesini vurgulayarak, Tayvan'ın diplomatik ilişkiler kurmasına, Birleşmiş Milletler ve diğer uluslararası kuruluşlarda temsil edilmesine karşı çıkıyor, kendisini tanıyan ülkelerin Tayvan ile diplomatik ilişkilerini kesmesini şart koşuyor. Trump paylaştı! Hürmüz Boğazı'nı "Trump Boğazı" olarak değiştirdi Son yıllarda Tayvan üzerindeki askeri baskıyı artıran Pekin yönetimi, Ada'nın ana kara ile yeniden birleşmesi için güç kullanımını dışlamayacağını vurguluyor. Tayvan'ın da buna karşılık son yıllarda askeri harcamalarını artırdığı, ABD'den satın aldığı yeni silah sistemleriyle savunma kapasitesini güçlendirmeye çalıştığı gözleniyor.

ABD ve Çin'den 60 milyar dolarlık hamle. Ticaret savaşı bitti mi?
ABD ve Çin liderler zirvesinin ardından karşılıklı olarak 60 milyar dolarlık ticarette gümrük tarifelerini indirme kararı aldı. ABD ve Çin, iki ülke arasındaki ticarette karşılıklı olarak toplam 60 milyar dolarlık üründe gümrük vergilerini düşürme kararı aldı. Beyaz Saray her iki tarafın 30'ar milyar dolarlık malını kapsayan listeleri yayımlarken, vergi indirimlerinin kesin oranları ve uygulama takvimi henüz netleşmedi. Geçen hafta ABD Başkanı Donald Trump ile Çin Devlet Başkanı Şi Cinping, Washington'da zirve gerçekleştirmişti. AFP ajansının haberine göre Beyaz Saray, Şi'nin ziyareti sonrası "hassas olmayan mallar" kategorisindeki ürünlere daha avantajlı tarife uygulanması yönünde tavsiye kararı alındığını duyurdu. Pekin yönetimi de mutabakatı doğruladı. İki ülke, gümrük vergilerinin bir dönem yüzde 100'ün üzerine çıktığı misilleme sürecinin ardından ilk kez geçen yıl Güney Kore'deki liderler zirvesinde ticaret ateşkesine varmıştı. ABD Hazine Bakanı Scott Bessent, süresi kasım ayında dolması planlanan bu uzlaşmanın 10 Ocak tarihine kadar uzatıldığını bildirdi. Çin Ticaret Bakanlığı, ticaret ateşkesinin iki ay uzatılmasının her iki tarafa ekonomik sorunları çözme planını değerlendirme fırsatı vereceğini belirtti. Açıklamada, bu adımın şirketler arası işbirliği için öngörülebilir bir ortam sağlayacağı kaydedildi. ABD Ticaret Temsilcisi Jamieson Greer, ABD-Çin Ticaret Heyeti bünyesinde varılan uzlaşmanın, ABD'nin Çin'e yaptığı ihracatın yaklaşık yüzde 30'u için pazar erişimini genişleteceğini söyledi. HANGİ ÜRÜNLERE VERGİ İNDİRİMİ GELECEK? Washington yönetiminin yayımladığı listeye göre ABD; havai fişekler, Noel süsleri ve ağaç ışıkları, yapay çiçekler, ev eşyaları, çocuk oto koltukları, oyuncaklar, spor malzemeleri, sofra takımları, battaniyeler, çarşaflar, kahve makineleri ve ekmek kızartma makineleri gibi küçük ev aletlerini içeren 77 ürün kategorisinde gümrük vergilerini düşürmeyi planlıyor. Çin'in ithalat listesi ise mısır, buğday, sorgum, et ürünleri (sığır, domuz, kümes hayvanları), deniz ürünleri, süt ürünleri, bitkisel yağlar ve küspeler, viski, tıbbi cihazlar, kozmetik ürünleri, tomruk ve ahşap ürünleri ile kömürü kapsayan 1600'den fazla Amerikan malını içeriyor. Öte yandan Reuters ajansının haberine göre ABD'nin Çin'e en büyük tarımsal ihraç kalemi olan soya fasulyesi, Pekin'in açıkladığı tarife indirimi listesinin dışında kaldı. ABD menşeli soya fasulyesi Çin pazarında halen yüzde 10 ek gümrük vergisine tabi tutuluyor. Sektör temsilcileri bu vergi yükünün özel sektör kırma tesisleri için karşılanması güç bir maliyet yarattığı uyarısını yapıyor. Pekin yönetimi, geçen yıl varılan mutabakat kapsamında yıllık 25 milyon tonluk alım taahhüdü çerçevesinde ABD'den büyük ölçekli soya fasulyesi alımını sürdürüyor. Çin'in devlete ait tarım şirketleri Sinograin ve COFCO, Beyaz Saray'ın açıkladığı yıllık kotanın yaklaşık yarısına denk gelen 12 milyon tondan fazla Amerikan soya fasulyesi satın aldı. Pekin'in soya fasulyesi dışındaki tarım ürünlerinde vergi indirimine gitmesi, Beyaz Saray'ın öne sürdüğü yıllık 17 milyar dolarlık tarım ürünü satın alma taahhüdünü karşılama adımı olarak görülüyor. Çin tarafı henüz bu hacimdeki satın alma hedefini resmi olarak doğrulamadı. ENERJİ, YAPAY ZEKA VE FİNANS ADIMLARI Zirvede varılan bir diğer uzlaşmaya göre Çin, 2027 ve 2028 yıllarında ABD'den yılda en az 10 milyon metrik ton kömür ithal edecek. Bu miktar Çin'in yıllık kömür ithalatının yaklaşık yüzde 2'sine denk geliyor. Listede sıvılaştırılmış doğalgaz (LNG) ve petrol ise yer almadı. Çin Ticaret Bakanlığı, Amerikan kömürü ithalatının iç piyasayı destekleyeceğini ve ABD kömür sektörüne gelir ile istihdam sağlayacağını açıkladı. İki ülke ayrıca yıl sonundan önce toplanacak bir tarım çalışma grubu kurma kararı aldı. Liderler yapay zeka alanında olası olaylar için doğrudan iletişim kanalı kurulması ve kasım ayı sonuna kadar takip diyaloğu yürütülmesi konusunda da anlaştı. Çin yönetimi ayrıca ABD sermayeli kuruluşlar dahil yabancı finansal hizmet şirketlerinin ülkede şube açma ve faaliyet yürütme izinlerini inceleyip onaylayacağını duyurdu. İki ülke arasındaki doğrudan uçuşların artırılması için temasların süreceği açıklandı. Zirve kararlarına rağmen Çin borsalarında pazartesi günü sert düşüşler yaşandı. Yatırımcıların somut ayrıntıları yetersiz bulması ve ABD Kongresi'nde Çin menşeli bileşenlerin veri merkezlerinden yasaklanmasına yönelik iki partinin ortak girişiminin teknoloji hisselerini baskılamasıyla Şanghay ve Shenzhen borsalarını izleyen gösterge CSI300 endeksi yüzde 2'den fazla gerileyerek bir yılın en düşük seviyesine indi.

For all the solemnity of the B-2 flyover with four F‑22 Raptors and a silent South Lawn drill, the real business of US President Donald Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping last week was narrower than the choreography. The Chinese readout reiterated the concept that should frame the relationship’s next phase: constructive strategic stability – cooperation as the primary track, competition kept within bounds, differences managed, conflict avoided. Stripped of banquet rhetoric, the...
