In addition to rare earths, China has now announced new export controls on superhard materials, lithium batteries, and artificial graphite anodes. Why now? This timing is no coincidence — it comes just ahead of the expected Trump–Xi meeting later this month.

Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Context → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: punchy
Written for: Founders, marketers and operators

This week, this day, has been a rollercoaster unlike any other I’ve seen. ETH is effectively deemed a Commodity as we’ve always known it to be. I’m proud to be on team @Coinbase, the trusted partner and custodian for many of the issuers who had 19b-4’s approved tonight.

If these leaked benchmarks for Gemini 3 Pro are correct (could not verify yet) $GOOGL about to drop a model that dwarfs other models and claims the num 1 spot while being both trained and inferenced on TPUs. $GOOGL about to disrupt the whole AI supply chain with its full stack.

MOFCOM just published the deal: 1. Original 34% tariff remains, but 90 day pause for 24%; 2. All retaliatory tariffs are gone. What remains: 1. 10% tariffs from Apr 2; 2. 20% Fentanyl tariff; 3. 25% Trump 1 tariff. That's the same China would've got had it not retaliated.
