President Trump’s refusal to meet with China’s President Xi Jinping at the upcoming Asia-Pacific summit is not just bold—it’s exactly the kind of tough stance America desperately needs. For too long, Washington elites and globalist sellouts have bowed and scraped to Beijing, pretending trade wars and economic bullying don’t hurt the U.S. But China’s latest move to tighten control over rare earth minerals is a red line nobody should ignore. Rare earths are the backbone of modern technology—from phones to fighter jets—and China’s chokehold on these critical materials is a strategic threat wrapped in an economic stranglehold. America’s patience is over.
The president’s threat to unleash a massive tariff hike on Chinese imports is a masterstroke that liberals and corporate cronies in Washington will never admit they support. They preach free trade while kowtowing to China’s every power grab, but Trump understands something simple: strength is the language of respect. When Beijing slapped new export controls on rare earth elements and imposed whacky port fees on American ships, it proved once again that China plays by no honest rules. Their attempts to bully Qualcomm and stall soybean purchases just add insult to injury. This isn’t about “fair trade” anymore—it’s about survival for American industry and national security.
“People say China and I don’t mix. Wrong. We actually get along perfectly fine. I’ve always had a strong relationship with China. Xi just hit a rough patch — but let’s be honest, who hasn’t?
I’m not even saying he’s wrong. But thanks to those tariffs, things got a whole lot… pic.twitter.com/drYpJ8qg9D

The fake “diplomacy” crowd will whine that this moves us closer to another tariff spiral, but spare us the scare tactics. Trump’s administration is not about breaking America’s back to benefit China’s Communist regime. In fact, the United States still holds a massive edge in semiconductor technology, controlling the vast majority of the equipment needed to make the chips that power everything from AI to missile guidance systems. China might control the minerals, but America controls the tech. The closer Trump pushes back, the more China’s house of cards shakes.
Meanwhile, the Democrats and their globalist allies continue to weaken us. They smile while Beijing tightens its grip and the U.S. economy pays the price. They secretly cheer on China’s aggression because they want cheap goods and cheap labor, even if it means hollowing out American jobs and jeopardizing national security. Their hypocrisy is staggering—always ready to talk tough on China but never willing to support the hard measures needed to actually defend American interests.
Trump’s no-nonsense approach reminds us why America should never back down from a fight. If China wants to play games with rare earth minerals and trade restrictions, then America must be ready to respond with muscle. Soft diplomacy has failed. Big tariffs are not just necessary—they’re overdue. The question is, how much longer will those in power in Washington allow China to dictate terms on our soil before something finally breaks? And will America stand up, or will it keep kneeling to the globalists who put profits over patriotism?
