Deep dives

U.S.-China and Ukraine Relations

The implications of the recent U.S.-Ukraine meeting highlight the complex dynamics of international relations, particularly between the U.S., China, and Ukraine. The rare earth minerals deal proposed during this meeting could significantly influence U.S.-China relations, especially since China holds a monopoly on these resources globally. The stakes are heightened as both the U.S. and China view the Ukraine conflict as part of a larger, global security landscape rather than merely a regional issue. The competition between the U.S. and China is seen as a zero-sum game, which suggests that any advantage gained by one side directly threatens the other.
