Xinhua News Agency of Singapore reported today (August 5): "Amid the Sino-US rivalry and the trade war stalemate, China's restrictions on the export of key minerals to the United States have caused the U.S. defense industry to be 'strangled,' exposing the industry's reliance on Chinese minerals."
You choke me in the chip field, I precisely retaliate in rare earths. After China played the "rare earth card," the U.S. defense industry fell into anxiety, and rare earths thus became a focus of the three rounds of Sino-U.S. trade negotiations. This indicates that China has shifted from passive response to active action, using targeted countermeasures to make the U.S. understand: tariff sticks and technological blockades cannot force China to submit. Only equal cooperation can find the correct way to coexist.
