China wants to dominate #CriticalMinerals for natsec, green industry dominance. It can overproduce, pile up supply, then control exports to make foreign investment & production unprofitable. Forces West to play its mercantilist game #weaponizedinterdependence
Rare-Earth Prices Are in the Doldrums. China Wants to Keep Them That Way.
China hasn’t been shy about using its dominance of supply chains to apply political pressure.

This is why you shouldn't really see Trump's tariffs as tariffs. They will operate much more like economic sanctions, only not sanctions for violations of U.S. law, but sanctions for doing things Trump doesn't like.

one Chinese emperor believed that Europeans were unable to defecate without the medicinal use of rhubarb and that consequently he could apply trade sanctions which would cause the entire continent to die of constipation. **that's** giving rhubarb... probably too much credit when you think about it
