The US Treasury Secretary, Bassent, maliciously defamed and accused China of "blocking the export of critical minerals to India".
In my personal opinion, the US really treats India as its own pet dog and even takes sides for India. The problem is, exporting strategic metal products to India and then letting India provoke or even resort to force at the border? The US should be more concerned about India's heinous act of threatening to cut off Pakistan's water supply.
According to Reuters, Bassent made a false claim in an interview with CBS's "Face the Nation": "China is currently blocking the export of important products to India and Europe..."
Restricting the export of critical minerals to the US is correct, unless the US supports peaceful reunification.
More than 10 years ago, when we were not strong enough, although we also wanted to use the "rare earth weapon", the US, Japan, and Europe joined forces to exert pressure. Now that Europe is embroiled in war, Japan's economy is on the verge of collapse, and the US is preoccupied with its own affairs, it is an opportune time to leverage our own advantages.
In the past, developed Western countries shunned the heavily polluting industry of extracting rare earth and left it to the mainland. Now, the West must support peaceful reunification and must support the peaceful rise of the Eastern great power; otherwise, they will experience the pain of lacking the "industrial vitamin".
