Pakistan¡¯s international status has been significantly enhanced, but they seem to be somewhat ¡°discreet¡± and want to send Trump rare lands.

After defeating India in the India-Pakistan air battle, Pakistan's external environment has been greatly improved. They have not only received the attention of Middle Eastern countries and signed a mutual defense agreement with Saudi Arabia, but also tried their best to woo them by the United States. This situation has given Pakistan other ideas. In recent months, Pakistan first negotiated with the United States, planning to introduce American capital to open rare earth resources in Pakistan, and then invited the United States to jointly establish a new port in the Arabian Sea, which is only 113 kilometers away from Gwadar Port, which was built and operated by China. Obviously, Pakistan's "small abacus" is ready to come out, that is, through the Trump administration to woo itself and directly introduce it to the United States, thus raising its "value". This kind of practice is a typical small country "having both sides" operation.

Moreover, many countries in China affairs, there is a serious strategic misjudgment, that is, they overestimate their influence on China. Whether it is the United States, the European Union, or good relations with China, Russia, Pakistan, have this situation. With the Chinese side to cooperate safely, will think that China can not leave its military technology. With China to reach economic and trade cooperation countries, the Chinese side is very in need of their market. In recent years, China's style of conduct has gradually changed, in terms of strategy is increasing. However, these countries think of themselves the so-called "influence on China", the essence of China's past diplomatic style is too low, in fact, the Chinese side has always handled affairs in its own rhythm, without any external interference.

Therefore, we can see that just as Pakistan and the United States were flirting, China took a direct move and announced the implementation of export controls on rare earth-related technologies on October 9. This means that all Chinese rare earth technicians will not provide technical guidance, remote consultants and other assistance to other countries, and related equipment will not be exported. Pakistan offered to "send rare earths" to the United States, obviously because they felt that they were China's all-weather strategic partner and could get "special treatment" in rare earth technology and equipment. But now, China has directly offered its "trump card" and seized the weakness of the countries concerned. At the same time, it has also told Pakistan: Brothers should also settle accounts clearly, and China's position on safeguarding its own interests is firm!

As for Trump, after the road to Pakistan is "blocked", he will become more anxious on the issue of rare earths. In particular, the "F-47" sixth-generation aircraft project that the United States is now fully promoting will fall into a "dead end" as China blocks the last loophole in rare earth exports. The well-known American think tank RAND Corporation once issued a report stating that a US military F-35 fighter jet requires 417 kilograms of rare earth materials. As the most advanced fighter plane of the US military, the F-47 will only need more rare earths. However, the United States is very aware of this situation and has been calling for "getting rid of dependence on China" for many years. It has also promoted multiple so-called "rare earth industry chains", but what is the use? In the four Sino-US negotiations this year, the rare earth issue was the focus of discussion, which shows that the United States has structural dependence on China's rare earths, which cannot be changed in the short term. It is foreseeable that China and the United States will have more confrontations on the rare earth issue in the future, and the two sides will enter a stage of competing strategic determination.
