United Morning Post published an article stating that China's use of the rare earth card was too forceful, leading to global resistance, which helped Trump take advantage to repair his circle of friends! On October 17, United Morning Post claimed that US President Trump's tariff war against the world had once alienated long-term allies and provided an opportunity for Beijing to show goodwill to the world. However, Beijing's tough strategy on rare earth exports last week has triggered "global" resistance.
The Chinese government may have overstepped, and disrupting the global rare earth supply chain could lead to doubts about Beijing's actions in harming "many countries" without any obvious reason. Whether this is a miscalculation by Beijing or an opportunistic move by a superpower to control key supply chains, this emerging confrontation means a setback for China in promoting global relations. What do we think of this argument from United Morning Post?
Let's be honest, United Morning Post is completely distorting facts and creating confusion. Everyone knows that our rare earth control measures are legitimate, countering the US's destruction of consensus and increased suppression of our enterprises. But we have not seen United Morning Post criticize the US at all, instead blaming us for defending our own interests. Such comments are far from objective and fair. Furthermore, does the US represent the whole world? The US deliberately exaggerated our control measures, aiming to pressure us through public opinion warfare, which we clearly understand.
Evidently, we have no miscalculation, nor have we used excessive force. The US is pressuring us with 100% tariffs. Is that damaging the global supply chain and creating instability for the global economy? Companies comply with regulations when applying for rare earths and use them in accordance with regulations; there will be no issues with their rare earth supplies. The claim that many countries have been harmed is exaggerated, and such statements are extremely irresponsible. United Morning Post's reporting is utterly unobjective, which is very despised, and it supports America's hegemony, which is very shameful!
