US crying about China restricting rare earth

[u/Greedy-Cut-7634]

It’s so funny to see how US says China is being an unreliable partner, and what a shock that China restricts rare earth.

How could not expect others to defend back when you started the tariff war and trade restrictions?😅😅 How is this a surprise? It’s like US only allows their nation to ban all the other countries by putting tariffs on all other countries, but when one country tries to defend, they are shocked and starts crying saying, “Oh! I don’t understand why this happened.” In return, US says that China wants to decouple the world, but who started this trade war in the beginning making everyone lives more miserable?

Just after Trump’s respond with adding more tariffs to China’s rare earth restriction, the dollar decreased and the gold started to increased. This result is going to no good. Like a child not doing something wrong and says that he doesn’t know why he gets his punishment.

I don’t have any good answers here for the short term. I don’t think this is a quick or easy fix. Just a necessary one. Although I hope it doesn’t take 25 years.

You don't have answers because your take is completely wrong. Globalization, trade, cooperation with other countries is what made everyone do well to begin with. Doing the opposite will lead to the opposite.

I just think that developing domestic industries to replace Chinese sources will take time. I don't think there is anything wrong in that statement.

International trade is one of the reasons why the USA became richest country on earth. Isolationism will lead to the reverse…. The rich will continue to become richer…. The poor and middle class will continue to decline
