The experts say that the US cannot compete with China on refining rare earths and to even do so would require Huge State Subsidies and would take decades.
Rising empires often display characteristics that those in declining ones might disparage- things like slavery, racism, and compulsory confiscations of peoples gold.
But once dominance is gained and the population are more comfortable they demand more and more 'rights' and the rot begins.
It is the pattern of history- the rise and fall of empires- and it has never stopped, and may never.
China is rising and the US is in deep debt and chronic economic and societal decline, looking down its nose in disbelief at China and its annual Trillion dollar trade surpluses and its monopoly on rare earths...
You literally did not refute anything I said. You did say that since China is rising in your eyes that I guess they like slavery and racism so…. That's a pretty interesting take…. Not sure what to say about that...

You do not appear to understand what I am saying. You are blatantly misrepresenting and misinterpreting what I have actually said. Read what I wrote again, and better luck comprehending it, on your second reading.

Again I work in this policy field. You cannot just say experts then tag a Japanise comp and say ha I'm right. You ignored the massive US build up under Chips and Science. You've ignored the NDAA’s and public recent moves by the DOD to buy rare earths.
Once you get off your drug induced cloud feel free to let me know cause whatever your smoking had you on cloud 1000.
Still waiting for a example contradicting anything I said. I used examples from companies to spending to countries you got nothing bud. Sorry your axis is imploding. Kinda sucke when two of the three completely fall apart huh? I mean such a collapse. At least the US nukes have fuel as well…. Boy was that embarrassing to learn your military needed the fuel to cook and refilled it with water 😂
