The U.S. Trade Representative is very uncomfortable with our actions! On October 22, U.S. Trade Representative Griles stated that China's global measures to control the flow or export of any items containing specific rare earth elements indicate that China only wants to exert economic control over the world. Although China is testing different arguments to justify its upgraded actions to control the flow of rare earths, the reality is that China wants to exert economic control over the world.
Previous U.S. governments have allowed China to use the leading U.S. technology in rare earth mining - and now, China is "coercing" us and other countries around the world. We will not back down. It is clear that the U.S. is very dissatisfied with our rare earth control measures. However, the U.S.'s complaints clearly show that our rare earth control policy has indeed hurt the U.S.
Of course, the so-called claim that China uses rare earths to exert economic control over the world is obviously absurd. Everyone knows that our rare earth control policy is a common practice among countries around the world. If we are targeting anyone, it is mainly the United States. The U.S. imposes restrictions on us in the chip industry, so why can't we take a countermeasure against the U.S.?
If the U.S. feels it is uncomfortable being choked by us, then the U.S. can also establish an independent rare earth industry chain, just as we are building an independent chip industry chain. Does the U.S. not have confidence in this? The U.S. deliberately exaggerates our rare earth control policy in an attempt to create public opinion to pressure us, but this approach is not working. Since we hold this card, we will definitely use this card to firmly defend our own interests.
