Watching the news... I don't know why China didn't pull the rare earths card earlier like with Biden. Look at how the Western world and their allies (many hostile to China) are talking how their industries are going to grind to a halt because of how dependent they are on China to supply them. China ain't gouging them. China isn't the one who first tried to weaponized economics and trade to force other to align with their interests. As a warning, they said China would deny supply chains first but that was about having an excuse to do it to China before it was done to them. It was no different then to what Trump is doing now.
