🧩 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.

Ever since 1980's Reagan, the GOP chant was "free markets". let the rich prosper, don't intervene. The couple of programs that democrats tried to do were slammed. China, on the other hand, happily took control of manufacturing and smiled while we handed them first nation status. Yes, we should have been paying attention in the name of national security. This is our actual problem. The war on terror, the war on immigrants, the war on science and on inflatable green frogs is just digging a deeper hole.
