Trump and Xi Views on Rare Earths Deal Differ, Trade Expert Says
The dispute also has the potential to escalate if China decides it wants to prevent third countries to ship these minerals to the US, said Combs. "The biggest thing I'm watching personally is the US ability to import intermediate goods that contain Chinese rare earths, and these especially flow through Japan and South Korea," he said. "The US imports more of these as embodied materials than they do directly. So that's really where the real threat is."

Is CF used in ship construction at all? I imagine it's not very useful for hulls but what about the superstructure?

It's used in top-end racing sailboats, even in the hulls, due to strength and lightness. But these ships are run very hard and not expected to last very long before being retired/scrapped.

The market is not very large because CF has many downsides in a marine environment. It's expensive, difficult to inspect for damage, and difficult to repair. Like other epoxy-based composites, it has poor endurance against repeated stress. Due to the carbon content, it will cause galvanic corrosion (accelerated by salt water in the air).

The larger ship market wants reliable inexpensive materials.

and talent, a leading battery scientist with extensive academic and industry experience in the US has returned to a Chinese university to further his work on next-generation technologies.

Zhou Jianbin earned his PhD at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2017 before working as a researcher at USTC and then in the United States at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the University of California, San Diego.

He spent 16 months at Sonocharge Energy, a battery start-up in the US private sector, before returning to China in March as a special professor at USTC.

If it's just funding cut he'll probably go to an European country or Five Eyes country. The real reason is that he doesn't trust the cucks to deport him to Little Yangtze Land and must go back to the motherland where basic security is guaranteed.

A third responded so well that they got what seems to be an astonishing reprieve. The immunotherapy developed by Legend Biotech, a company founded in China, seems to have made their cancer disappear. And after five years, it still has not returned in those patients — a result never before seen in this disease.
The Legend immunotherapy is a type known as CAR-T. It is delivered as an infusion of the patient’s own white blood cells that have been removed and engineered to attack the cancer. The treatment has revolutionized prospects for patients with other types of blood cancer, like leukemia.

The Chinese company — now a U.S. company with headquarters in New Jersey — gained attention for its CAR-T eight years ago when it made extravagant claims, which were met by snickers from American researchers.
So they left China already?
