Writers tend to bristle at the adage, “Life is stranger than fiction.” In this latest “What China’s Reading” column, we share five titles that illustrate how fiction and nonfiction writers draw inspiration from fact and transform it into a deeper, more rewarding truth.

My conversation with @AsiaSociety's @orvilleschell:
"I don't know if @POTUS has that kind of adeptness to reach an inflection point in the US-China relationship and really change the terms of the game. But we have had an expression here in this last day of a willingness on both sides to try.
"Now we have to put, as Mao Zedong always said, theory into practice. And that's not easy. And there remains a lot of contradictions that are unresolved."

For well over a decade, the U.S. has made negligible progress on reducing its dependence on Chinese rare earths. With its rare earth export controls of April and October 2025, #Beijing laid that dependency bare and catalyzed a major mobilization by the Trump administration to seek a secure supply.
