>>61237423OCTOBER 26, 2025: THE DAY AMERICA BECAME AN EMPIREWhile you watched TikTok, the United States just executed the greatest economic coup in human history.China controls 80% of rare earth processing—the neurons of every weapon system, smartphone, and AI server on planet Earth. One element: neodymium. Without it, F-35s don’t fly. Teslas don’t move. Data centers go dark.Trump threatened to destroy $300 billion in Chinese exports with 100% tariffs.Beijing responded by threatening to choke the global technology supply chain.Then something impossible happened.October 24: Malaysia signs mineral pact.October 25: Thailand signs processing deal.October 26: Framework announced. China blinks.Hidden in the fine print: $13 billion Australian rare earth processing. Cambodia extraction rights. Japan’s 2010 playbook—which cut Chinese dependency 30%—now deployed across $350 billion in American AI infrastructure.THE NUMBER THAT ENDS GLOBALIZATION:US-China trade: $758B (2018) $578B (2024)That $180 billion didn’t vanish. It relocated to nations that bend the knee.ASEAN trade up 20%. Chinese rare earth market share dropping for first time in 30 years. American supply chains rerouting in real-time while Beijing realizes the trap.
>>61237423Yeah jeez. It sure sucks that we're not raping our national forests and hunting grounds. Gee wow. If only we could compete by burning down our nations beauty.
>>61237916These neets wont understand your words. I’m thankful to be born in a time of nice technically applicable gear, cheap access to travel, and the opportunity to make enough money to afford adventures. The people before me didn’t have these opportunities and the people after me will not have any natural world left to explore. Bittersweet
>>61237423I will give you digitized bits of paper, which are worthless, so you can give me Tungsten to live.
>china produces most raw minerals>raw mineral recovery/sourcing can be hazardous to health and environment>pay chinese to fuck up their own backyard for profit>somehow this relationship makes people think china is the only source for minerals when it is the cheapest and easiest>cheapest and easiest to source
>>61238004>im so privileged to use up shit those after me wont get to enjoy and those before me worked hard to provideyou sound like a useless eater, aka a boomer
>>61238089>china produces most raw mineralsChina *processes* most most of the world's raw minerals. The actual mineral ore is mostly imported. The rest of the world is now accelerating their processing facility buildouts at blinding speed to reduce or remove any dependence on China.Xi got too aggressive too early.
>>61237423I just can’t bring myself to genuflect to a nation of rice dicked, bat soup eating low t dysgenic looking zipper head gooks. I’d rather die from the next round of chink flu than capitulate
>>61237423production isn't the same as proven reserveschina still has a lot though, but it's probably more like 60% and not 80+%
>>61239384>processing facility buildouts at blinding speedwith what equipment? Kekand paying with what? Xi uses USD to wipe his butt. And you don't sell anything the Chinese wants to get their RMB.Oh and after 5 years you have a refinery to produce... 99.99% REE which is good for? Wiping ass again?Kek it will take you 20 years to get to the current purity of chinese REE.
reminding that the Japs spent the last 10 years to "end chinese dependence" on REE.What was the result?>importing 100% HREE from china>importing 60% of LREE from china>exclusive use chinese equipment in their refineries >purity of ONE - UNO light REE is 99.9999% (4N) vs Chinese 99.999999& (6N)very sad!
The US has a huge amoount of reserves the problem always ricochets back to the fact we have boomers and women who think those jobs are 'icky' and wonder why men want factories and mines and roads and cities being built and why we can't justb e happy working some job filing papers and then submitting new requests for more papers to file.
