China halts export of rare earthes

[Flopper]

Why is it that people can say the Congress is in the pocket of the Chinese, but if I say they are in the pocket of J*ws, I get banned.

I would guess because one is racist and the other is not

 

[MayorQuimby]

It still originated in China.

I am not exonerating China. I am just saying people in top places in your country are scummy as well.

 

[JohnDB]

That's gonna upset her.....
It's funny but it's not like she can't take it.

How so? Both Chinese and J*ws are racial groups.

According to the U.S. Trade Representative, China has not contacted either his office or President Trump since April 2nd. In an effort to pressure China back to the bargaining table, Trump repeatedly raised tariffs—at one point up to 145%—yet received no response. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce later suggested that Trump should reconsider these tariff hikes. In turn, Trump issued a 90-day extension, but again, China remained silent. Eventually, Trump hinted that the extension might be cut short.

China did respond—but not in the way Trump had hoped. It announced the suspension of all rare earth and specialized magnet exports. Exporters must now apply for a permit, a process that can take anywhere from 60 days to several months. This delay gives the Chinese government time to assess whether these shipments might ultimately end up in the United States.

Here’s why this move is critical: China produces 90% of the world’s rare earth elements and controls about 70% of the global supply. These minerals are essential for advanced manufacturing, including the production of automobiles, aircraft, communications equipment, and various technologies used by defense contractors. In effect, China has a strategic chokehold—and now the ball is in Trump’s court.

China’s next move may not be economic but military. Xi Jinping has maintained control of the military with assertive declarations that the reunification of Taiwan with mainland China is inevitable. This aligns with a plan introduced in 2019 to integrate Taiwan under a framework similar to that of Hong Kong. However, Xi is quickly running out of options.

Which proves we better get our asses moving now and get our mines up and running. Stop fucking around it’s only going to get worse with these fuckers.

Funded with USAID money during the Obama presidency, and halted in 2019 when President Trump found out about it. Why do you think Trump wanted to gut USAID?

The democrats deserve credit for naming that fucking money laundering scheme something that sounds charitable. I’ll give them that. They are some scummy fuckers.

Too bad Biden didn't make the rare earth deal with Zelenskyy... or ramp up our rare earth mines..... he must of been at the beach....

I don't know what USAID is. I just wanted to say that your top agencies are corrupt and scummy just like the Chinese. With the Chinese, at least they have an excuse. They are scummy to begin with. But your top people have no excuse. They are Americans, they should be better than the Chinese.

The lack of knowledge one must have to make a statement like that is astounding... what has happened to Canadians?...

Except I was not talking about anything relating to knowledge, I was just expressing an opinion. Guess you couldn't tell these two apart, huh?

Just do one thing... go online and do a comparison of global aid given by the USA vs China...

If you still think this is about USAID then you are a tool.

My point was that top people in your country are just as corrupt and scummy as the Chinese. But somehow to your atrophied mind this means USA does (or doesn't; I don't even know what point you are trying to make) donate more than China.

Rare earths aren't that rare. They just aren't easily mined in large volumes. A lot of them can be had on the ocean floor where China is mapping and harvesting them from.

We do have corruption at high levels but its nothing like the corruption in China... they have political prisoners and reeducation camps.... every agency top to bottom collects their due from the citizens until they are living in shanties... it makes Mexico look honest... top to bottom China is like this... I've been there twice once for a wedding and then a funeral...
The first victim under communism is the truth...

China halts critical rare earth mineral exports as Trump teases new tariffs

A massive rare earth mineral deposit has been discovered in Wyoming, potentially the world's largest, estimated at 2.34 billion metric tons. This discovery, located near Wheatland, is being explored by American Rare Earths, and could significantly alter the global rare earth supply chain, currently dominated by China. The find could make the US the world's largest supplier of rare earth minerals.

The newly disclosed figure of 2.34 billion metric tons of rare earth minerals found southwest of Wheatland by American Rare Earths Inc. could dwarf in size the 1.2 million metric ton estimates in northeastern Wyoming that one of its competitors claimed was one of the biggest discoveries in the world.

Nothing is going to stop us...

You mean the rare earth deal that has yet to be signed? Where Trump, rather than closing the deal, berated Zelensky on what he was wearing and kicked him out of the White House?

Two problems. First, that rare earth find in Wyoming was very likely overstated. From an initial 2.34 billion tons to 7.5 million tons.

American Rare Earths Find Comes up Short

The eventual extraction from Wyoming’s Halleck Creek site will be much smaller than the reported 2.34 billion tonnes.

Second, it will take a while to get manufacturing up even if we wanted to. For the next couple of years, China has advantage in the rare earths market.
