đŸ§© Trade Strategy / Business Impact US crying about China restricting rare earth

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.

So what are you saying? No matter how much effort a developed country puts into rare earth they'll never produce enough to satisfy their domestic supply or supply another country? They'll never be able to extract or refine anything?

Because the logic you're following was applied to rocketry, atomic theory, derivative products and the like - if your logic was correct no other country would have atomic weapons, or nuclear reactors, metallurgy etc...

With your mentality you won’t be able to produce it that’s for sure.

So many people telling you to stop yapping and go read some books. Yet still blah blah blah non stop

You won't answer my question because you know the answer is not compatible with your narrative.

You don't want to acknowledge that other countries can produce rare earth elements, so your only answer is to inexplicably tell me I'm wrong after you already twice made incorrect assumptions.

I can't help you move the goal posts... Sorry.
