Export controls are one time use capability. Once you use it, other countries will develop alternatives, thus ending you leverage.
Sounds like you don't know what you are talking about here.

Nice gift for Trump before his potential meeting with Xi - let's not forget gallium, of which up to 90% is mined by China, while the US has neither the skill set nor electricity to produce.
I guess we now have an answer to the perennial question of the western journalist: At What Cost?!!!
Why, at the cost of all rare earths in existence; the cost of continued white supremacy is having to eschew modern and futuristic technology, courtesy of Chinese magnets and rare earths.
Remember always, the Five Eyes Atlanticist west started this.
The fact that the leader of India's main opposition party is so dogmatic doesn't bode well for India's future.Rahul Gandhi giving an interview in Columbia.
Funny enough, he does have an interesting point about how industries and great powers evolve. He said that Great British was number one when it was the driver of the steam revolution. America is number one when it was the driver of the combustion engine revolution. Today, China is the driver of the electric motor and batteries revolution.
What Rahul Gandhi is dead wrong is that he is way too optimistic for India and he sees China as an authoritarian nemesis. He wants India to gang up with the West and compete against China in manufacturing. He doesn't want to learn from China, citing that India and the West must figure out a "democratic" way of industrial policy, not China's"authoritarian model. That kind of ideological statement is gonna doom India's industrial dreams. When China was growing, it had worked closely, and learned from the industrial leaders in the West and Japan. China is now the no. 1 industrial power on earth. If India continues to be China's enemy, then India is likely to go the way of the Soviet Union. So Rahul Gandhi is not gonna bring India forwards too.
Rahul Gandhi is proud that India is a very diverse nation with no common language, held together by "democracy". He says that China is only united because it had suppressed diversity. All I can say is that he should be careful about saying that. First of all, it's is a great myth that China crushes diversity. Second, a nation like India, so diverse, yet only held together by administration is actually very vulnerable to fragmentation.
The moment India gets incompetent and divisive leadership like Modi and his BJP, that's when the fragmentation becomes more active. Without foreign agitation, the fragmentation will take some time. But if India does something really stupid like provoking conflict with bigger powers, then the fragmentation could accelerate. Today, people in the North East, Khalistan, South Tibet, Ladakh, and South India are making noises for increased self-determination. Reality is not looking very rosy for India. And Rahul Gandhi and the Congress are not India's answer to move forward.
this time entire rare earth supply chain put into export control list. also prohibited Chinese nationals to work overseas on any rare earth related without approval.Published today October 9th, in force from November 8th, restriction on EV battery tech, material and machinary. It seems that this update includes more things than the rules announced in July.
This meeting could be the last chance the Anglos have of maintaining their current living standards.Nice gift for Trump before his potential meeting with Xi - let's not forget gallium, of which up to 90% is mined by China, while the US has neither the skill set nor electricity to produce.
I’m convinced now more than ever that the Zionists did murder Charlie Kirk as he was a potential presidential candidate who was charismatic over the gen z youth And turning on israel.It ain't over until some Chinese got blamed.
What do you suspect happened that caused this response? Another idea floating out there is that they're choosing now to do it because of the US govt shutdown and negotiations preceding Xi/Trump meeting. Basically, it's a pretty ideal time to do it if you want to leverage your strengths and make the other side cry uncle.China has decided to bring the hammer down. Something has happened for this move to be made.
Xi be like "Mr Trump I have noticed you love to play some cards before any scheduled meetings or phone calls between us to create leverage out of thin air whenever we speak, I have therefore decided to play a few cards of my own before our meeting, 你跟不跟?"What do you suspect happened that caused this response? Another idea floating out there is that they're choosing now to do it because of the US govt shutdown and negotiations preceding Xi/Trump meeting. Basically, it's a pretty ideal time to do it if you want to leverage your strengths and make the other side cry uncle.
At this point, one could be forgiven for thinking that maybe they're intentionally trying to gaslight the US into self-destructing. Unintentionally paving the way for a Chinese century.This meeting could be the last chance the Anglos have of maintaining their current living standards.
or they could try for another opium war trying to force China to accept worthless dollars for goods and rare earths.

China started teaching America about the periodic table all the way back in 2023 under Biden, as funny as Trump can be, this isn't about Trump or about negotiations. China isn't in this to co-exist, China is in this to eliminate the American threat to Chinese civilization.What do you suspect happened that caused this response?
