Looks like "Do Nothing. Win" meme has become the official Chinese strategy

Beijing assumes that Washington’s own policies will dismantle the foundations of U.S. global hegemony, even if it creates a lot of turbulence for other countries in the process. China’s top priority, then, is simply to weather the storm.

Will a rare earth mineral deal between USA and Ukraine have any effect?

Unlikely given that Russia already controls most of the resource rich regions of Ukraine.

Good article. Great to see that progress is being made in relations with India and Japan.

As the article states, they've been through a Trump term before, so know what to expect, and are planning for it accordingly.

Exactly, it's becoming clear that the US will only continue getting more openly belligerent under Trump, but I'd argue the problem goes deeper. Erratic politics driven by short-term electoral cycles and mounting internal contradictions make it impossible to build any long-term trust with the US. A strategy that one administration pursues can be completely reversed by another. By contrast, China's single-party system has a demonstrated ability to carry out decades-long strategic initiatives projecting stability and consistency. This makes China an invaluable partner for any nations hedging against the US going forward.
