Latest news: During a visit to the White House today (September 28, Beijing time), Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir presented a sample of rare earth minerals to US President Trump. It is estimated that Pakistan has mineral and gold resources worth $8 trillion. The Trump administration is considering investing in Pakistan's mineral industry, including the Barrick Gold project.
[Witty] Comment: Pakistan both purchases Chinese weapons and presents rare earth samples to the United States. This scene vividly reveals that the underlying logic between countries is interest above all, even close partners like "Pak-iron" will not be an exception. The US is eyeing Pakistan's mineral resources and wants to invest in development; Pakistan is also weighing the pros and cons in the international landscape. For us, this is undoubtedly a warning. Even if relations are friendly, core technologies such as rare earth smelting and purification must be strictly protected, otherwise, the loss from the leakage of core technologies in the game of interests will be immeasurable.
