The US Treasury Secretary, Besant, said that planes' parts should be used to exchange for stable supply of rare earths from China. China has the world's largest reserves of rare earths, and its mining and processing of rare earth raw materials is of high quality, which not only ensures stability but also improves the efficiency and quality of products used in chips, semiconductors, and other high-tech products. However, the global focus is on China's rare earth mining and export of raw materials, which puts too much pressure on China. Other countries such as Ukraine, the United States itself, Malaysia, Pakistan, etc., also have rare earth exports, which can help diversify procurement and reduce reliance on a single rare earth import source. Moreover, this situation is not sustainable. Rare earths are rare minerals, and with such a large demand, the more they are mined, the less there will be. Are there companies that use alternative metals with similar properties or that recycle and reuse them? In addition, China's production of active pharmaceutical ingredients accounts for 70% of the world's total. The US imposes a 100% tariff on imported medicines, which does not affect China greatly. However, with such a large production of active pharmaceutical ingredients, China's medical standards are far behind some developed countries in Europe and America. Even some doctors who have achieved success in China's medical field still go to the US for treatment when they themselves are sick. It's really heartbreaking!
