[Lude Press | Dr. Yan Talks] Major event! Trump enraged: The Chinese Communist Party has weaponized rare earths to “hold the whole world hostage”—let’s slap a 100% tariff first! The CCP’s so-called “trump card” keeps blowing up in its own face—what a divine move! 10/10/2025

01 | Xi Jinping isn’t “fainting,” he’s in a “frenzy,” treating rare earth export controls as his “trump card.”
After the Chinese Ministry of Commerce announced export controls on rare earths, the CCP immediately launched a flood of propaganda, calling this move its “ace card” and “bargaining chip,” boasting about it everywhere.
They said, “The Trump administration now has only one option—to negotiate with China. If talks fail, America’s new energy sector, chip industry, intelligent robotics, and military-industrial complex will all be hit hard.”
They said, “China won’t play by that script. Either negotiate properly, or if it comes to a fight, China has plenty of countermeasures and will accompany the U.S. to the end.”
They said, “With the APEC summit approaching, Trump doesn’t have much time left to make his choice.”
…Xi and the CCP—this isn’t self-harm; it’s outright suicide.

02 | Trump enraged: The Chinese Communist Party weaponizes rare earths to “hold the whole world hostage.”
President Trump was undoubtedly secretly delighted—he’d been waiting for this move; otherwise, we’d have to keep biding our time. He immediately posted on Truth Social. The interpretations are as follows:

◉”Some very strange things are happening in China! They are becoming very hostile, and sending letters to Countries throughout the World, that they want to impose Export Controls on each and every element of production having to do with Rare Earths, and virtually anything else they can think of, even if it’s not manufactured in China. Nobody has ever seen anything like this but, essentially, it would “clog” the Markets, and make life difficult for virtually every Country in the World, especially for China.”
[Comment] The CCP’s rule that any product containing even one-thousandth Chinese rare earths must be subject to control is the same “bandit logic” it applies to ethnic Chinese—if you have even a drop of Chinese blood in your ancestry, you’re its chives (a slang term meaning an endlessly exploited resource: once the plant grows 25 cm above ground, it’s cut off and regrown, to be harvested repeatedly), or one of its “frozen corpses” battalions (in the Korean War, many Chinese soldiers, lacking winter gear, froze to death in formation—their needless deaths were turned into propaganda of patriotic sacrifice).
The word “clog,” medically speaking, refers to a major blood clot. With a massive clot, negotiation isn’t an option—you dissolve it directly.

◉”We have been contacted by other Countries who are extremely angry at this great Trade hostility, which came out of nowhere. Our relationship with China over the past six months has been a very good one, thereby making this move on Trade an even more surprising one. I have always felt that they’ve been lying in wait, and now, as usual, I have been proven right! “
[Comment] President Trump had long said he had a “good relationship with China and Xi Jinping” precisely to lay the groundwork for this.
“They’ve been lying in wait”—the CCP’s unrestricted warfare tactics are now fully exposed.
“As usual, I have been proven right!” means his earlier claims that “fentanyl comes from Communist China” and “the virus is the CCP’s biological weapon” have been validated.

◉”There is no way that China should be allowed to hold the World “captive,” but that seems to have been their plan for quite some time, starting with the “Magnets” and, other Elements that they have quietly amassed into somewhat of a Monopoly position, a rather sinister and hostile move, to say the least.”
[Comment] The word “captive”: on 9/11, terrorists hijacked planes; Hamas took hostages—that’s “captivity.”
The CCP, besides restricting rare earth exports, has also weaponized gallium, germanium, graphite, and more.

◉”But the U.S. has Monopoly positions also, much stronger and more far reaching than China’s. I have just not chosen to use them, there was never a reason for me to do so — UNTIL NOW!”
[Comment] The United States has long been working with Australia, Japan, and others on rare earth alternatives.

◉”The letter they sent is many pages long, and details, with great specificity, each and every Element that they want to withhold from other Nations. “
[Comment] “Many pages long, … each and every element” shows the CCP’s diligence in wrongdoing and its greedy ambition.

◉”Things that were routine are no longer routine at all. I have not spoken to President Xi because there was no reason to do so. “
[Comment] Trump refusing to talk to Xi means the situation has escalated—this is a big deal.

◉”This was a real surprise, not only to me, but to all the Leaders of the Free World. “
[Comment] From here on, Trump’s actions will not only represent himself; he intends to act on behalf of the free world. Since everyone is seeking his help, he must take the lead in restoring world order.

◉”The Chinese letters were especially inappropriate in that this was the Day that, after three thousand years of bedlam and fighting, there is PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. I wonder if that timing was coincidental?”
[Comment] Why did the CCP make this move right at the historic moment when a Middle East agreement was reached and Hamas surrendered? Isn’t this a provocation? Did the Gaza and Palestinian evidence fully expose the CCP as the hidden hand behind the scenes—forcing it to “strike first”?

◉”Dependent on what China says about the hostile “order” that they have just put out, I will be forced, as President of the United States of America, to financially counter their move. “
[Comment] “Financially reciprocal countermeasures”—Trump didn’t mention military action. Back in April, when he announced raising tariffs on the CCP to 145%, China’s economy nearly collapsed. He later reduced it to 55%. Now that rare earths are being weaponized, tariffs are going back up.

◉”For every Element that they have been able to monopolize, we have two. I never thought it would come to this but perhaps, as with all things, the time has come. “
[Comment] The CCP’s so-called “ultimate trump card”—yet for every element, the U.S. can say “we have two.” In English, “two” implies at least two options.

◉”Ultimately, though potentially painful, it will be a very good thing, in the end, for the U.S.A. “
[Comment] The U.S. says, we were originally waiting for you until 2027, but you’ve accelerated the timeline yourself.

◉”One of the Policies that we are calculating at this moment is a massive increase of Tariffs on Chinese products coming into the United States of America. There are many other countermeasures that are, likewise, under serious consideration. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
[Comment] A sharp tariff increase is only one measure; many other countermeasures are coming.
“Thank you for your attention to this matter!”—this is Trump’s rhetorical signature. Whenever a post ends with that line, it’s always about the CCP.

03 | President Trump: Starting November 1, 2025, a 100% tariff increase—plus export controls on all critical software.
Within six hours, President Trump posted a second Truth Social message. The interpretations are as follows:

◉”It has just been learned that China has taken an extraordinarily aggressive position on Trade in sending an extremely hostile letter to the World, ……This affects ALL Countries, without exception, “
[Comment] Tell Xi Jinping—this means you’re declaring war on the entire world. Back in the late Qing dynasty, Empress Dowager Cixi declared war on eleven countries; that was pathetic enough. Now, Xi Jinping’s CCP is declaring war on all countries.

◉”and was obviously a plan devised by them years ago. It is absolutely unheard of in International Trade, and a moral disgrace in dealing with other Nations.”
[Comment] “Moral disgrace”—this is a move to redefine the CCP on the moral and civilizational level, equating it directly with terrorism and Nazism. In the future, this lays the legal groundwork not only for sanctions, international law, and asset freezes, but also for legitimizing regime change or the eventual disintegration of the CCP, much like Trump’s earlier phrase “open up China.”
The phrase “moral disgrace” is exceedingly rare in U.S. diplomatic history. At the presidential level, it’s only used when passing moral judgment or condemning crimes against civilization—never in normal diplomatic discourse before relations have been openly broken.
In U.S. history, presidents have used it only for regimes deemed inhumane or violently extremist. For instance, Roosevelt called Nazi persecution of the Jews “a moral disgrace to humanity”; Reagan condemned the Soviet bombing and massacre of Afghan civilians as “a moral disgrace to civilization”; Biden used the phrase after the Hamas massacre on October 7, calling it “a moral disgrace to humanity.”
In American political language, moral disgrace is a term precisely crafted for defining anti-human, anti-civilizational atrocities or systems.

◉”and speaking only for the U.S.A., and not other Nations who were similarly threatened, “
[Comment] The United States will act this way—other countries can decide how to follow.

◉”starting November 1st, 2025 (or sooner, depending on any further actions or changes taken by China), the United States of America will impose a Tariff of 100% on China, over and above any Tariff that they are currently paying. Also on November 1st, we will impose Export Controls on any and all critical software.”
[Comment] If the CCP dares to move early, we’ll move early too.
That’s what “over and above any Tariff that they are currently paying” means.
As for “all critical software”—what counts as critical? The U.S. decides. Do China’s AI, chip, or robotics systems have any design or control process that doesn’t rely on American software?

◉”It is impossible to believe that China would have taken such an action, but they have, and the rest is History. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
[Comment] President Trump is being “forced, reluctantly” to take an action that will “go down in history.” What past American actions have been called historic? World War II and the Cold War—no lesser conflict qualified. Now, it’s about launching a historic campaign to eliminate the CCP.

04 | With these two Truth Social posts, Trump has completely shifted the narrative from “competition” to outright “hostility,” defining the CCP as an “enemy” — with no conditions or negotiations attached.

◉ In the past, Trump’s team used diplomatic terms such as “unfair trade” or “currency manipulation.” Today’s language — moral disgrace, extremely hostile letter, hold the world captive — is no longer diplomatic vocabulary. It has been elevated to the level of a moral and civilizational conflict.
This marks a linguistic escalation: the United States now regards the CCP as a regime unworthy of being part of the civilized system or of engaging with America as an equal partner.

◉ Moral disgrace — this is the U.S. President’s moral definition and verdict on the CCP. The CCP’s weaponization of rare earths and blackmailing of the world’s civilization constitute a form of hostage-taking and systemic violence against humanity. State-level terrorism is the essence of the CCP, and what follows will be the same fate as Hitler or Hamas.
When moral boundaries are broken — when something becomes morally intolerable — then it becomes legally intolerable as well. Under international law, the CCP no longer holds legitimacy. Therefore, the economic, financial, and even military countermeasures taken by other nations will be seen as morally necessary.
The eventual disintegration of the PRC will not be “aggression,” but rather a morally justified counteraction by the United States and its allies.

◉ No phone call with Xi Jinping, no meeting at APEC — this isn’t just a schedule change; diplomatically, it’s a freeze — a suspension of all political contact channels.
This is effectively an announcement: the PRC is no longer a negotiable partner, but a risk entity to be managed. From now on, trade talks are off the table.
U.S. allies must follow suit, and countries seeking to prove their loyalty will need to offer stronger gestures of alignment with the U.S.
Under international law and political norms, any sanctions, asset freezes, or discussions of regime legitimacy are now justified.
The logic is simple: if communication is impossible, confrontation becomes inevitable — triggering a global campaign to eliminate the CCP.

◉ This is the first time since the Cold War that the United States has openly declared: “We hold key monopolies — and we will use them as instruments of national power.”
America never used to say this publicly. It kept its military under the seal of the “Department of Defense.” But now, thanks to Xi Jinping’s actions, those seals are broken — the Pentagon’s restraints are lifted, Japan’s restraints are lifted, and now America’s monopoly powers are unsealed as well.

◉ The U.S. now stands on the moral high ground of the world — acting on behalf of Heaven, as it were — calling on “all nations” to demand restitution from the CCP.
Trump’s two posts are effectively a global call to arms, rallying allies to collective counteraction. Next to take the stage will be the G7, the European Union, NATO, and the Indo-Pacific alliance.

05 | The U.S. cognitive warfare campaign is running at full intensity — the Nobel Peace Prize.
While one side was setting the stage for Trump’s potential bid for the Nobel Peace Prize, the other side swiftly awarded it to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado. Soon after, Machado expressed her gratitude to Trump, and in the U.S., people said it was unfair that Trump didn’t win this year — he’ll compete again next year.
This move neatly dragged Venezuela’s Maduro — and the CCP backing him — into the game.
President Trump doesn’t actually care much about the Nobel Peace Prize right now. He just finished dealing with Gaza, and the Russia–Ukraine war still isn’t settled. Even Hillary and other Democrats have said that if Trump manages to resolve the Russia–Ukraine conflict, the Democratic Party would be willing to nominate him for the Nobel. But the precondition for that ceasefire is that China “opens up.” So President Trump is still in the middle of his mission — there’s no rush to win the prize. When even the Democrats and the left in America end up nominating him, by then there will be no room left for media warfare or political reversal.
That’s what it means for the U.S. to “kill ten birds with one stone.”
Next, Machado can lead the opposition to drive out Maduro’s illegitimate regime; or, as a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, she can invite the legitimately elected president, Edmundo González, to return and govern. Either way, Maduro’s finished — no amount of threats, pleading, or begging for mercy will save him now.

06 | Latin American countries have already joined, are in the process of joining, or are about to join the American camp.
❶ Peru: The CCP’s good partner — the Peruvian president who frequently visited China — has officially stepped down. The president of Congress, a center-right, pro-American figure, has been sworn in.
❷ Colombia: In an interview, Bessent said Colombia will soon turn around as well. The U.S. Treasury Secretary isn’t just talking.
❸ Brazil: Lula has spoken with Trump, and Trump said it was a good conversation. As for the CCP buying soybeans from Brazil, the U.S. said that before long, China won’t be able to buy from Brazil anymore — sooner or later, they’ll have to come back and buy American soybeans.
❹ Argentina: Milei is an ally of the U.S. The CCP’s attempt to leverage ten shiploads of soybeans to sway Argentina is pure fantasy. The U.S. is offering Argentina ally-level financial aid, propping it up with the dollar, and has already announced the dismantling of the PRC–Argentina “Renminbi swap agreement.” With the U.S. providing financial relief, Milei’s position is secure — and Argentina will stand even more firmly alongside the United States.
