Just now, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio, who is anti-China, stated on social media X: "It was a pleasure to meet with President Tokayev of Kazakhstan today to promote trade, energy security and technological innovation, while strengthening the U.S.-Kazakh strategic partnership. In addition, we are very proud of the key minerals memorandum of understanding signed between the two countries."
Rubio had previously claimed at a U.S. Department of State reception that the five Central Asian countries are seeking to transform their resources into responsible development, thereby achieving economic diversification, and that the United States and the five Central Asian countries have aligned interests in jointly developing natural resources, which must be jointly prepared and promoted.
Notably, Rubio's move comes as leaders of the five Central Asian countries gather in Washington to meet with U.S. President Trump, where they will discuss rare earth minerals and other resource issues, and this move is undoubtedly aimed at China.
