I think the only way forward for US China normalization is a treaty, ratified by 2/3 of congress.
I think it should go further, for instance I recommend the reverse Xiaomi method, do to them what they did to China back in the early days of the trade war. Xiaomi had to accept American auditors and handlers and pay for them off its coffers to make sure its use of semiconductors were compliant with U.S. sanctions regimes, not to mention giving it undue influence over operations and basically giving bribe money to the trump administration in a roundabout way.
For normalisation, I expect nothing less than a CPC team to be attached to every S&P500 ready to audit the company for compliance in accordance with Chinese regulations, and paid for at the expense of that U.S. company. Yknow, it may even be the first time any western board actually has Chinese, let alone Asian members participating in operations.



I just realised that China targeting shipping boards which are governed by Americans means the CPC is directly targeting the Anglo elite ruling class; old money tends to have deep links in shipping, insurance, real estate etc

The first question that should be asked is, why should China-US relations normalize, or to put it another way, what should be normal?
I don't think any condition in which the US and west in general has the ability to launch wars of aggression should be part of normal.
And not just on China, but anyone on earth.

Agreed. A comprehensive Rare Earth industry takes decades and plenty of investments to build. Let alone build at scale. The US and friends would have to dismantle plenty of environmental taboo in order to setup lagre scale mining and refining facilities. It requires plenty of investments, skilled manpower, and waste management costs. ROI is gonna take years, maybe even decades for the West. The capitalists don't have the patience to invest in something like that.

Ideally, China restricting RE to the West should be a great opportunity for entrepreneurs. But since genuine entrepreneurship have been systematically crushed by the old and entrenched capitalists and banksters, no actual boom is gonna happen. The same old billionaires and investors are gonna gang up and attempt to setup their own RE industry. And its gonna go the way like how the Americans have attempted to move TSMC's foundries to Arizona. Big talk, big money spent, but too little imagination, and too little results.

I expect little Supapowar India to hype itself up to becoming the next "Global Rare Earth Hub" to replace China. Long story short, its not gonna happen.
They yapped about this for 15 years and did nothing. They keep finding reserves and usually all of them remain non-developed. Those helium and lithium reserves they found last decade still have nothing extracted. Literally nothing. But of course, if you ask MAGAs they will replace Chinese rare earths in 6 months. They became experts on everything about rare earth elements in a day. China was fool for having PhD programs on this. A few Facebook threads were all ChiComs needed.

The rare earth geology outside of China, besides in its immediate neighbors, is generally quite unfavorable for economically viable development.

I've found that DeepSeek's knowledge of rare earths is exceptionally robust. It must've been trained on Chinese data and academic papers that are far more comprehensive than any relevant English-language literature. The detailed answers to my line of questioning have me wondering whether it's a good idea to share them publicly. Even though it's all ostensibly OSINT, you all probably know that the American state/media/intelligence/thinktank apparatus is majorly deficient in researching, comprehending, and employing OSINT.

Not exactly news. Trump announcing 100% additional tariffs on Chinese imports. Trump is also considering to cancel his upcoming meeting with Xi Jinping. Yawn...
Maybe Xi did it on purpose, instead of being blamed for refusing to talk, let Trump do it. It was usually the US setting up crazy demand and blame others for uncompromising and unreasonable, it is time to turn the table. I would expect China taking up US playbook against US more and more from now on.

This was the US munition's plant that blew up yesterday. G262_V3W0AAvhA2.jpg

This is it; it's so small, literally same size as the parking lot. US doesn't have the power to scale up the most scalable industries. This is why Chinese final products cost less than US raw material price. US has so many inherent inefficiencies built into its economy it's never going to be able to compete with China. Even their best optimized companies like Tesla aren't even price competitive with their Chinese counterparts

Once US dollar dominance is over, people will realize that US economy is literally worthless and that most of their economy is built on fake shit like suburbs and cars that do nothing but to make transportation cost more expensive and living standards worse. Their entire house of cards would come crashing down wiping off most people's assets in stocks and retirement after people realize that USD like bitcoin was only seen as an asset instead of it having any real value. After their economic collapse they can go compete with Brazil and Argentina for agricultural exports because they literally can't do anything else lol.
