The U.S.-China trade war reached another chapter with new Chinese export controls on rare earth minerals, and newly announced 100 percent U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods next month. U.S. president Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping are expected to meet for the first time since 2019 on the sidelines of the APEC Summit in Korea at the end of October. What are some outstanding trade issues between the two? Is a trade deal finally near? What does continued U.S.-China competition mean for allies and partners in the region, including Japan and South Korea?
