The U.S. Department of State wrote tonight (Beijing time, February 4): "Secretary Rubio chaired the Key Minerals Ministerial Meeting today, welcoming delegations from over 50 countries to strengthen and diversify supply chains."
[Witty] Comments: The U.S. is holding its first key minerals ministerial meeting with great fanfare, gathering more than 50 countries to create a show of strength. Under the guise of diversifying supply chains, it actually aims to build an exclusive resource alliance, attempting to seize strategic resources such as lithium, cobalt, and rare earths within its own bloc. This is a naked attempt to enforce resource hegemony and decouple the industrial chain from China, directly extending the black hand of great power rivalry into the field of critical minerals. In the context of intensifying Sino-U.S. rivalry, our side must be vigilant against the U.S.'s plot to monopolize pricing power and cut the industrial chain, consolidate the advantages of the entire industry chain, expand diverse cooperation, and firmly control the initiative in strategic resources.
