Please be a bro Lukashenko
I wonder how serious China will be with these sanctions. If China is playing for real and stops sale of rare earth to these companies, the US will probably react furiously, maybe with more Huawei style sanctions (forcing TSMC not to sell to more targeted Chinese companies).
I'm sure the US has been stockpiling rare earth for years. But when they run out, this will have very real effect on their ability to build advanced weaponry.
As per RT, The Russian Government has claimed Russian forces have gotten into a border skirmish with Ukrainian forces; 5 dead; two armored personnel carriers deployed.
Watch the video and you'll see how blatant anti-China the writer of this reporting is. The protest is subtly being portrayed as not that significant in numbers, when the video seems to suggest otherwise. Then the people's grievances are low key being portrayed as unreasonable since the value of the US "AID" is designed for infrastructure development as if the reporter knows this to be A FACT and not even exploring why some NEPALESE are vehemently oppose and rabid anti-AMERRICA. The reporter's bias becomes more evident when it prefix the opposition politicians in NEPAL as "PRO-BEIJING" to sow doubt and essentially delegitimize the complaints and issues raise as simply doing the bidding of China.
It's disgusting because if the protests was being made against a China led grant the script would be written in what we can predictably expect which is debt trap, human rights, ecological damage, US NGO's voices being legitimize as voice of concern etc...
For better or for worst Beijing needs to reign in this kind of toxic, untruthful, CIA level reporting if it wants to have a voice that works internationally.

Western reporting would have been all over this if the people being affected were Hong Kongers or Mainland Chinese in China. They'll showcase the significance of the situation as dystopia, cruel, insidious, and the cruelty of the See See Pee.
But this situation is just darn sad and infuriating at the same time. I wish Beijing can make the situation tenable for these workers because in turn it'll help the central government's image as the real "people's government" and maybe it'll even open the eyes of some of the anti-China woke crowd.

I think these domestic helpers need to wear some Team China jerseys to get the attention of the international media as to their plight
Once they do that, they'll get airlifted planeloads of supplies
Lockheed Martin will still get the rare earths they need even if it is by subterfuge. The US got titanium from the Soviet Union which they claimed was for golf clubs and they used it for the SR-71. But this will increase their costs to get those materials that's for sure.
In the long run China needs to put as much rare earth derived components manufacture in China proper as possible and avoid selling the base material directly. This will toughen their sanctions effectiveness.
