Lucas and Luna cut through the noise each episode, examining Beijing's latest monetary and fiscal moves, trade tensions with the US and EU, and the ripple effects across Asia-Pacific markets. They ground every conversation in real-time data from Chinese industrial production, PMIs, and export figures — no punditry, just the numbers and the strategic outlook. Whether dissecting the PBOC's rate decisions, the impact of export controls on semiconductors, or the shifting dynamics of ASEAN supply chains, this show serves investors, analysts, and executives who need to understand China's role in global markets — not headlines, but the underlying incentives and constraints. Expect a calm, evidence-based dissection of what works, what doesn't, and what could change next. Lucas challenges official narratives with data; Luna asks the uncomfortable questions about debt, demographics, and decoupling.

In this episode, Lucas and Luna examine how Beijing is tightening export controls on rare earth magnets and refining technologies, using data from the latest trade balance and the yuan-dollar peg at 6.80. They discuss the impact on Western defense supply chains and the slow progress of alternatives like the MP Materials project in California. With Pinduoduo up 9.4% in a week and a strong tech export surge, the hosts connect the dots between strategic resource leverage and broader China economic strategy. A focused look at one of Beijing's most underappreciated policy tools. #ChinaEconomy #RareEarths #TradeWar #StrategicResources #ExportControls #MPMaterials #Magnets #DefenseSupplyChain #YuanAt6.80 #TradeBalance #BeijingPolicies #Economics #Geopolitics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Podcast #LucasAndLuna #SupplyChain Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"China controls roughly 60% of global rare earth mining and 90% of processing.
