The EU and the G7 are preparing to work together to counter China's rare earth control measures, and U.S. Finance Secretary Bessent said that China's actions have been hostile to the world.

According to the report of the Financial Times on October 14, 2025, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent expressed strong dissatisfaction with China's measures to control rare earth exports.

He described this as China's attempt to "drag everyone down with it" and claimed it would damage the global economy and disrupt supply chains.

The U.S. Treasury Secretary's remarks can be described as absurd. The Trump administration has imposed additional tariffs on the world, even on uninhabited islands. In his eyes, this is the so-called "trade restructuring."

However, China's control of its own strategic resources, rare earths, was said to be endangering the global economy and supply chain.

Is China only worthy of being the nourishment of Western high-tech industries, must it open its doors unconditionally, and respond to every request of the United States and the West? It's just arrogant to the top.

In this context, the most developed countries in the West also plan to take certain countermeasures against China's rare earth control measures.

The "Politician News Network" news network reported that the EU joined the G7 to put pressure on China to withdraw its rare earth sanctions. EU officials in charge of economic and trade affairs claimed that China had greatly expanded the scope of controlled raw materials, exacerbating the "already grim situation".

Interestingly, the rotating chairmanship of the EU, Denmark, whose foreign ministers pronounced U.S. and European relations, claimed that the EU would not retaliate against China alone, but would coordinate with the United States.

The Danish Foreign Minister further explained that this is why the EU avoided a trade war with the United States before.

Good guys, before the EU made concessions to the U.S. on tariffs, only a few days later, the pit was filled, let alone the "flexibility of the mindset" of Western politicians.

From China's standpoint, we must emphasize that rare earth control is a legitimate sovereign act that safeguards national interests.

As the world¡¯s largest producer, China has faced the risk of over-exploitation, environmental pollution and resource depletion.

The 2025 controls target military and dual-use exports and are designed to prevent the outflow of critical technologies and the misuse of strategic resources.

China¡¯s rare-earth export controls are not a comprehensive embargo, but strengthen censorship and licensing, aimed at sustainable development.

The United States itself controls exports of chips, artificial intelligence and advanced materials, but criticizes China for not restricting raw materials. How can there be such a truth in the world?

Another thing that needs to be refuted is, does the so-called "world" by U.S. Treasury Secretary Bescent refer to more than 100 countries in the world, or just a small part of the United States and Europe? The answer speaks for itself.

Besent's "world economy" narrative ignores the global economic market, with developing countries accounting for more than 60%. They are more concerned about fair distribution of resources than Western monopoly.

The West is not equal to the whole world, and national interests are not high or low. China has the right to give priority to ensuring the security of its own supply chain. It is natural for China to safeguard its own interests and do not need to pay for western narratives.

Besant's remarks are nothing more than geopolitical rhetoric, which cannot hide the spillover risks of US policy. We hope that through rational dialogue, we can move towards sustainable global supply chain construction, which is responsible for "everyone".
