India raised a question with China.
Foreign media reported on June 14: "Indian officials reportedly raised the issue of China's restrictions on rare earth exports when they met with Chinese Vice Foreign Minister this week. With automobile manufacturers continuously warning that a shortage of rare earth supplies may affect India's domestic production capacity, the relevant issues have drawn high concern in India."
The butterfly effect of the U.S. tariff war is spreading globally, impacting more and more countries. As the U.S. brandishes the tariff stick to exert maximum pressure on China, China counters with rare earth controls, seemingly a bilateral game of chess, yet it has shaken the global industrial chain, creating a situation where "when two powers fight, a third country suffers." This exposes the destruction of global trade order caused by unilateralism of the U.S. - in today's deeply interconnected industrial chains, the tariff war initiated by the U.S. essentially drags the whole world into a "harm the enemy one thousand, self-inflict eight hundred" quagmire, and India and other countries' passive pressure are true reflections of hegemonic logic disrupting the globe.
