This is a starter but nevertheless good news. Trump or any future president better think hard about securing Bragram base. **** whatever Russia and China say. Until someone can come up with a viable replacement for rare earths, China will continue to use the materials to choke trading partners or competitors that China disagrees with.

This interest is part of a broader geopolitical strategy to dominate the global rare earth market.

Indeed, some areas have higher concentrations of the minerals we are seeking.
Afghanistan has significant deposits of lithium and other rare minerals, including copper, gold, and cobalt, which are crucial for various industries. Pakistan also has mineral resources, but Afghanistan is noted for its larger untapped reserves of critical minerals.
The Chinese abuse the foreign workers on Slave Labor levels and pollute the land.
China has faced criticism for its environmental practices in the extraction of rare earth minerals, often prioritizing production over environmental regulations. The mining and processing of these materials can lead to significant ecological damage, including soil and water contamination.
China's rare earth mining has led to significant environmental pollution, including water and soil contamination, due to the chemicals used in the extraction process.
The cleanup costs are substantial and are expected to be shared by the industry and global consumers benefiting from these resources
Lax Enforcement: Despite having environmental regulations, enforcement is often weak. Many mining operations do not adhere to safety and environmental standards.
Pollution: Rare earth mining can release toxic substances, leading to severe pollution. This has raised concerns about the health impacts on local communities and ecosystems.
