I'll take "things you should have thought of before launching a trade war" for $400, Alex!

Don't we have other sources for these? Isn't this exactly the kind of thing we shouldn't rely on China for?

the USA has lots of lots of rare earth metals and we have the strongest environmental laws in the world. if you want a future that includes smart phones, you would want the USA and not China to be the world's leading source of rare earth metals. (which, btw, would be great for working class jobs in the USA.)

but a strong, sustained consensus of Republicans and Democrats have pursued a strategy of leaving those resources to be exploited only by the Chinese and leaving the USA to be vulnerable. fact.

I read it takes 30 years to get an rare earth factory going. Even assuming that is exaggerated, no near term fix is available.

i concede that no short term fix works. but that makes our inaction all the worse.

i think this is the move. they can afford to pull back for a few years if it means killing off MAGA for good and the next admin will be begging to suck their cock. also buys time for them to strengthen their ties with the rest of the world while trump alienates us from our allies.

There should be some mechanism to prevent a solitary dumbass boomer from wrecking the economy because he ascribes to a crackpot theory of economics

You would've thought the Framers would've built something into the constitution to do something like that.

A balance system of some sort.

Bad News for China: Rare Earth Elements Aren’t That Rare

China is limiting US access to critical minerals in response to President Donald Trump’s tariffs, but the move isn’t as devastating as Beijing wants it to be.

https://www.wired.com/story/rare-earth-minerals-china-tariffs/

it's a situation where our media just isn't doing their job at all.

This article is stupid.

"Well...maybe if this goes on for too long, US can open their own rare earth mines and then...sorta.....maybe...ya know, US companies could just buy domestically"

They’re actively promoting Chinese propaganda, just like the Shareblue bots ITT.
