This is a huge scandal!

U.S. media are in a hurry: if we can not buy our Chinese rare earth again, the United States will not only win the trade war, but also have to recognize the "truthfulness"!Warton professors are straightforward, this wave of rare earth is smashed by China, and the high-tech and military workers of the United States have to "rest."

How many rare earth cards do we have in our hands?

When it comes to rare earth resources, China is a world leader. China accounts for about one-third of the world's proven reserves of rare earths, but production capacity and refining capacity are the king's bombs. 90% of the world's rare earth refining capacity is firmly in the hands of China.

In other words, even if you have mines in the United States and Australia, you have to send them to China for "purification" in the end. Not coming? Those piles of ore can only be piled as waste soil.

Siegel, a professor at Wharton Business School, couldn't help but "slap the table": The United States has not even built a decent reserve of rare earth in recent years, and its refining technology relies entirely on China. This is not a "strategic shortcoming", it is simply digging a hole for yourself.

What Americans are most afraid of now? fear that once China is angry and blocks rare earth, then their high-tech industry, the military industry, will have to "drop the chain."

Aircraft carriers, warplanes, missiles all lack key materials, mobile phones, computers, car factories also have to "rest."

This is not alarmist. The rare earth mines produced in the United States cannot be mined or purified. Not only are the costs high, the pollution is still high, and workers are unwilling to do it.

Now the rare earth used in the United States every year, eighty percent must be imported from China.If it is really shaken, American technology companies will have to "down" the first time, and military giants will have to "closed the door to cultivate."

Therefore, the American media will warn with surprise: Don't let China play rare earths into "king bombing" again! Speaking of which, it's not that the United States has never thought of doing it itself.

In the 1980s, California also had rare-earth mines, later due to the high cost, high pollution, great environmental pressure, plus China's rare-earth and cheap and good, simply all closed.

Americans have a good abacus, and they can save as much as they can. As a result, they save money and hand their necks over to China. Want to mine again? The technology is backward, the equipment is outdated, and we have to recruit again.

The funniest thing is that the "purification" of rare earths can't be done by small workshops, but behind it is China's decades of technological accumulation. Does the United States want to do it itself? We must first catch up with China's 20-year technological gap.

Professor Warton¡¯s ¡°Scandal¡±

This two years, the trade war between China and the United States was impossible, and the United States steadily increased taxes, sanctions, and blocked the chip.But every time at a critical moment, rare earth became the most feared "chip" of Americans.

As soon as China hints at tightening rare earth exports, the U.S. stock market will immediately crack, and military executives will have to work overtime all night to think of countermeasures.

It's not that the United States hasn't thought about engaging in "rare earth self-sufficiency", and it has also set up a "rare earth alliance", bringing Australia, Japan, and Europe together.

Unfortunately, the mines are there, and refining has to be shipped to China. even if subsidies are given and taxes are reduced, we cannot catch up with China's technology and industrial chain integration capabilities.

This matter of rare earths doesn't mean that "there are mines" has everything, but the key is to "be able to refine, be able to refine, and be refined". At this point, China is the "ceiling".

Professor Siegel of the Wharton Business School directly "fired" on the Consumer News and Business Channel in the United States, saying that the United States did not engage in strategic reserves of rare earths and that it was a "scandal." Although this is harsh, it actually points out the helplessness of the United States.

In recent years, the United States has been focused on "high-tech sanctions", but its most critical materials have to be supplied by China. It's like playing basketball. At the critical moment, you find that your sneakers are sold by your opponent. How can you still have the confidence?

Therefore, the United States is now looking for a way everywhere, desperately trying to "de-Chinaize", but it is reluctant to bear China's low price and high quality. He talked fiercely, but he was really panicked.

Some people think that modern warfare is about aircraft cannons, missile aircraft carriers, what is rare earth?

Not to mention, the United States '"weapons of the future": laser weapons, hypersonic speeds, drones, smart ammunition... which one is not the "core of control" of rare earths?

If the U.S. and China are really troubled, the rare earth once "cut the neck", don't say hot war, it's even difficult to maintain military and industrial production.

The ¡°Great Games¡± behind rare land.

Rare earth is not a simple ¡°commodity¡±, it has long become the ¡°key link¡± of national security, scientific and technological competition, and industrial chain security.

As long as China's rare earths don't let go, the United States will have to weigh every move. Trade wars, technological wars, and even "hot wars", rare earths are the "life gates" that the United States can't get around.

Unfortunately, this is not a two-word slogan, a bit of money can be solved. The accumulation of rare earth industry, is the efforts of decades, generations.

The United States will definitely not be willing to be stuck all the time, desperately trying to disperse the supply chain and engage in independent production. But at least in the next ten years, China will remain the "absolute talker" of rare earths in the world.

As long as China stabilizes itself, neither easily disbelieving nor arbitrarily reducing prices, with good "rare earth cards", we can firmly seize the initiative in our hands.

For the United States, relying on rhetoric, subsidies, and cliques may not achieve results in the short term. When one day comes to a "war against each other", rare earths will definitely become the "key factor" in determining the outcome.

In the final analysis, rare earths are a "king bomb" in China's hands. With it, China can stand upright in the global industrial chain, science and technology chain, and national defense chain.

The United States wants to "catch our Chinese neck"? first weigh whether we still have to rely on China's rare earth to support the door. The world is changing, technology is progressing, the game is also increasingly intense. Whether the trade war or the hot war, the amount of rare earth will only be heavier and heavier.

For China, as long as it stays firm and uses its own "rare earth cards" well, it can not only take the initiative in the game, but also let the whole world "honour us three points".

Finally, I urge you not to look hard on the mouth of the United States, and I have long understood that without our rare earth in China, they really have to "rest."Who belongs to the future? belongs to a country that dares to innovate, is good at accumulating and mastering core resources.

China is the real ¡°Great Winner¡±!
