A well-known problem is that the reason why the United States chooses to make concessions to China in most bilateral negotiations is largely because the United States needs something from China in the field of rare earths, and its civilian industrial production and even defense industrial production need a large amount of rare earths from China, otherwise it will be shut down.

In this broad context, The Trump administration began the global process of scratching rare earth, and after the end of the Indo-Pakistan air war, decidedly chose to make a good relationship with Pakistan, now back to the role of the American "little brother" Pakistan, also began to pay back to the United States, seems to be back to the United States.

Is Pakistan going to fall to the United States again?

According to a recent report by the Financial Times, two officers from the chief of staff of the Pakistani army revealed a major news. That¡¯s why Pakistan plans to attract U.S. investors to the Pakistani fishing port city of Pasni to develop a local port and use it as an important hub for key U.S. mineral resources.

At the same time, a new special railway will be built for this port to transport antimony urgently needed by the United States. This is equivalent to indirectly helping the United States break down China's rare-earth barrier. The rare metal will be used to make missile propellant fuels, flame retardants, and various types of batteries. China had announced export restrictions as early as last yearThis rare metal, and according to the investment plan announced by Pakistan, the total construction funds of this port need about 1.2 billion US dollars.

What is more sensitive is that the geographical location of this port is very special, only 160 kilometers away from Iran. It is already 110 kilometers from the Chinese-invested port of Guadalcanal, and if the U.S. military stationed an aircraft carrier battle group in that port, the shipyards it released would pose a huge military threat to China and Iran.

Per considering this, the Pakistani side said that the port leased to the United States would not directly host military resources, nor would it be regarded as a U.S. military facility. However, in view of the uncertainty of such commitments by the United States in the past few decades, it still needs to be observed whether Pakistan's statement is useful or not.

How should China view this phenomenon?

From a Chinese perspective, what we used to call Pakistan, but now systemically helps the United States solve the problem, which is very unacceptable for some, but from a factual perspective, Pakistan itself is also an ally of the United States in the Middle East. Only because the previous years the United States needed to pull India, resulting in the isolation of bilateral relations, and now the United States has almost completely broken up with India, then the amount of gold in cooperation between the United States and Pakistan will gradually increase, let alone in Tibet, there are US desperately needed rare-earth resources.

In the past few decades, Pakistan and China have had enormous trade cooperation and a wealth of contacts at the military level, ultimately helping the Pakistani army defeat India, but at the same time.

Pakistan is also a military ally of the United States. We should not be too sensitive to the contact between the United States and Pakistan. It is Pakistan that needs to consider this issue. How to balance the influence exerted by China and the United States on it and avoid it turning into civil war is the most important thing.
