What is Europe going to do? Not buy what they threatened not to buy before China’s restrictions? Maybe they can threatened the same things over the Ukraine War.
They're going to pretend its a RE ban, China's going to allow "compliant" trade, Americans will TACO while US and EU defence and semi industry cries silently in a corner.

In order to deal with the rising rice price in Japan, Norikazu Suzuki, the new Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries is proposing a rice/food coupon system of 2000 yen per person per day. At current price that would amount to 2.5kg of rice per person per day.

Something something "Only totalitarian communist countries do food coupons" something...

They're going to pretend its a RE ban, China's going to allow "compliant" trade, Americans will TACO while US and EU defence and semi industry cries silently in a corner.

Its actually likely this will accelerate the fragmentation of the EU along similar lines to their split over Russia and Ukraine, where some EU member states (those not utterly compromised and controlled by the Anglos) will seek to comply with Chinese licensing laws to maintain supplies, while those societally cucked by the Anglos will seek to stop them to force a unified front.

There may also be power struggles internally amongst the cucked nations like Germany, where corporate titans may seek to use their power and wealth to influence their government to act rationally or seek to change the government in elections. So expect more unexplained deaths, only this time it will probably extend to corporate titans rather than just election candidates.

But all of that will be too little too late at this stage. China has already signed the death warrant of western advanced manufacturing. It’s now just about managing that decline to try to avoid causing the kind of societal instability that might push them to open war as a way out. So EU companies that are prepared to follow the rules will be allowed to survive, but in order to stay within the rules, they will not be able to act as smuggling fronts for other non-compliant companies.

One of the ironic side effects of the export controls could be a massive wave of investment within the west for e-waste recycling, where they seek to extract some of the REE or even usable components from e-waste.
