“Barthe, today gave us a lesson: core technology is the only reliable friend!When Pakistan holds Chinese weapons, but sends rare-earth samples to the United States, this scene is the toughest warning to all Chinese people.
On September 28th, Beijing time, Pakistani Field Marshal Munir walked into the White House. He personally handed over a batch of rare earth mineral samples from his country to US President Trump.
Immediately after, the U.S. media disclosed a key message that the Trump administration is actively considering investing in Pakistan's $8 trillion massive mineral project, and just two days ago, the office of the Pakistani prime minister also issued a statement, saying that it has designated departments such as mining to accept investment from U.S. companies, which has already been underway.
Actually, Pakistan's dependence on Chinese weapons has long been no secret. Over the years, China has been Pakistan's largest arms supplier, not only directly selling weapons to them, but also helping to build a complete set of defense industry system.
According to statistics from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, Pakistan purchases 55% of China’s total conventional arms exports, a proportion that is not the second in the world.
Speaking of the Pakistani Air Force, 86 JF-17 Lightning fighter jets have been made up of five squadrons, daily patrolling in the sky, which are either directly supplied by China or assembled in Pakistan using Chinese technology.
Coupled with a large number of F-7 fighter jets, Chinese-made fighter jets almost hold up half the sky of the Pakistan Air Force.
Not to mention, the latest JF-17 Block III fighter aircraft is also equipped with the same type of J-20 missiles and advanced radar, which are the technical support of China.
But even if it relies so much on China’s weapons, Pakistan still sends rare-earth samples to the United States, which actually hides the fundamental logic of inter-national cooperation – the interests, or more precisely, the gaps in interests brought by core technologies.
Rare-earth this thing is called "industrial vitamins", whether it is to make chips, missiles or new energy vehicles, can not be separated from it, now the world is in need.
Pakistan's Balochistan province hides a lot of rare earth, but they do not have their own mature processing technology, excavated minerals can only be sold as raw materials, and can not make a lot of money at all.
China's now rare earth selection separation technology, in the world is the leading level, can also purify rare earth to more than 99.99% purity, the world's more than 80% of high purity rare earth processing are dependent on Chinese technology.Fujian has a rare earth park, enterprise photomagnetic materials patent ownership is ranked first in the country, 4 years of patent applications is the first in the world.
But we helped Pakistan to build, mostly assembly production lines for weapons and equipment, and did not involve the deep processing of this core technology, so Pakistan wanted to look for American investment, essentially to solve the technical and financial difficulties.
This is really giving us Chinese a lesson: core technology is the only friend to be trusted.
We send weapons to Pakistan, build factories, can exchange for temporary cooperation, but really can make the country stand firm internationally, is still the core technology in their own hands.
Just like China's rare earth industry, it could only sell raw materials in the early years. Later, scientists mastered separation and purification technology, which became a key link in the global industrial chain. If we don't have these technologies, no matter how many resources we have, we can only let others lower the price.
Per someone will ask, does this not mean that the friendship between China and Pakistan has changed?
But this thing clearly tells us that no matter which country to work with, must have the real thing in their hands, must firmly hold the core technology. only the core technology in their hands, can stand internationally, without looking at the face of others to act.
For this matter, do you think that the interests between the countries are normal first, or are you more aware of the importance of core technology autonomy?
