Zakaria: China's 'Never yield' mindset in trade war rooted in history

01:07

CNN's Fareed Zakaria explains that China's resolve to avoid repeating its 19th-century humiliation by Western powers, including the United States, shapes its global stance in the ongoing trade war. He highlighted China's economic advantage in supplying vital U.S. imports such as chemicals, minerals, and about 60 percent of America's computer chips – resources not easily sourced elsewhere. With rare earths largely under its control, Beijing holds a powerful position, Zakaria notes, as alternatives are scarce.
