China and the United States are the two biggest countries for business. Now, they are having a trade fight. The United States put high taxes on things from China. China also put high taxes on things from the United States. This makes it hard for people and companies in both countries.

China is a very big country. It has many people and many factories. China can make many things by itself. China is also trying to make better technology, like electric cars and computers. China sells many things to other countries, not just the United States.

China has some things that are very important for making phones, cars, and computers. These are called rare earths. China has a lot of these, and other countries need them. If China stops selling these things, it can be a big problem for other countries. This makes the trade fight very serious for everyone.
