The U.S. House Committee on China Issues has issued a warning to us! On February 4, the committee claimed that China has weaponized its control over critical minerals and launched an "economic war" against the United States. The "Treasury Plan" aims to address this threat by establishing strategic reserves, which can protect American industries, create jobs, and break China's control over key supply chains.
Chairman Muller of the committee supports this decisive measure to counter China, strengthen domestic mining industries, and safeguard America's economic security. Obviously, this rhetoric from American politicians is a typical case of deflecting blame. According to this logic from American politicians, if they claim we have launched an "economic war" against them, then why would China launch an "economic war" against the United States?
It is clear that the United States used tariff measures to launch an economic war against us, but we pushed back with a strong response and made them suffer heavy losses. Now, American politicians have changed their face and portrayed themselves as "victims." The so-called accusation that we have weaponized our control over critical minerals is a complete lie. Why would the United States provoke us? Can't we defend ourselves when they start trouble?
This is a ridiculous logic.
How many times has the United States tried to choke us? Before blaming China, American politicians seem never to look in the mirror to examine their own behavior. Our regulatory measures are in line with international practices. In fact, we are still supplying rare earths to the United States. As for whether the United States can get rid of its dependence, it's entirely up to the United States itself. If the United States continues to provoke, we will definitely retaliate.
