Btw its most likely heavily exaggerated because use in cooking was only a few cases.
Nowadays almost all gutter oil collected in China is exported to US and Europe.

Fun fact: what we think of as Bushido is made up by some guy trying to trick Americans into thinking what Japanese people were like. His book got reverse imported back to Japan, and the Japanese started LARPing this made up version of Bushido. It's partly why Japanese society went insane in the post-Meiji era.Agreed. If the Japanese actually had "Bushido" spirit as they purport to have, they would have been fighting a non-stop war of existential struggle for independence against the Americans since getting nuked twice 1945. The Vietnamese are 100X more human-like in regards to the innate human desire for self-determination vs the Japanese.
China banned Micron from critical infrastructure projects in 2023, which was mostly just a warning. There's plenty of room for China to tighten the noose on Micron.Why is Micron still not banned in China? They are one of the worst offenders in wanting Chinese companies banned like CXMT and YMTC.
When Idiots Wage War
The kakistocracy of the European Union has just decided on the TWENTY-FIRST package of sanctions against Russia
Previous impact on Russia and the course of the war: Zero
Previous impacts on Europe's economies and population: A disaster
-
But because Europe's completely deranged warmongers haven't caused enough damage with a war against Russia that's been openly waged for far too long, the EU is now sanctioning China and its companies even more heavily!
The two living blonde jokes at the top of the EUdSSR Central Committee and their clones in the governments of the member states are cheering over the madness -
The boards of the European arms industry, however, are in a state of shock paralysis
Because China has responded to the sanctions and imposed sanctions of its own against European corporations - especially from the arms industry!
And before I go into details on that, a message in simple language for armchair generals and subscribers to assisted thinking, so that you get it too:
Without China, Europe can't wage war
Period
When idiots wage war, they cut themselves off from the suppliers that deliver the basic products you need to wage war
Such as
Rare earths
Neodymium and praseodymium - used in motors, generators, actuators, flight controls, and precision-guided weapons
Dysprosium - guidance systems and aircraft components
Samarium
Necessary for missiles, radars, and electronic warfare
Terbium, gadolinium, yttrium, lutetium, scandium
For special magnets, lasers, night vision devices, sonar systems, and more
China's share of Europe's supply of these rare earths: 80 to 100 percent!
Gallium
For high-frequency radar systems, electronic warfare, and semiconductors in modern weapon systems
(China handles about 98% of global refining)
Germanium: For infrared optics, night vision devices, and sensors
Tungsten (wolfram)
For armor-piercing ammunition, hard metals, and high-temperature applications
(China supplies a large portion of EU imports)
Magnesium:
Lightweight material for aircraft, vehicles, and ammunition components
China supplies about 97% of EU magnesium
Plus bismuth, graphite, indium, and certain special alloys
In response to the 21st EU sanctions package against Russia and the sanctioning of 14 Chinese companies, China has now
Placed 14 European companies under sanctions as well
The list of sanctioned companies is a who's who of the European arms industry, including Rheinmetall
These measures prohibit the export of dual-use goods (products with civilian and military applications) from China to these companies.
The transfer or provision of dual-use goods manufactured in China by third parties to the listed entities is also prohibited
All these companies will no longer receive any dual-use products from China effective immediately and can effectively shut down - at least in the near future once stocks and inventories are depleted because no more supplies are coming from China
Let's sum it up
The first 19 sanctions packages have destroyed the European economy and the prosperity of the European population
Then the complete idiots in package 20 started expanding the trade war to China
And as a result of the now-decided 21st package, we're shooting Europe in both knees of our own war industry and are from now on exclusively dependent on the Yanks as weapons suppliers!
Donald Trump is falling off his chair laughing
Vladimir Putin still thinks the whole thing is a joke because he can't believe any head of state could be that stupid
President Xi doesn't even bat an eyelash and sends word
"Some people only learn through pain"
And I can only repeat myself for the thousandth time
We in Europe are governed by idiots
By complete idiots who can't even wage war
It's all just utterly incomprehensible

The poster is full of histrionics for theatre! No need to make claims that are mostly grounded in facts - EU dependence on Chinese rare earth. The commentator ruined his commentary with his full-on the EU is on fire schtick.
