Lets complie what are the things US can do short of starting a war? The rare earth export control is really affecting US military and it will take actions that it still can.

Kick of chinese students? Probabaly stem students initially.
Forcing chinese airlines to not overfly russia.
Scantion chinese banks.
Scantion pretty much anything that has external trade.

Seizing Chinese foreign reserve?
Forcing taiwan to declare independence?
Forcing Philippines to be active in south china sea to start a hot war.
Forcing European and other countries ro seize chineee companies.

There are probabaly many more stop of having to declare a war with china. I am afraid we are getting to that point as US is desperate for rare earth.

Knowing the type of hooligans MAGA are they’ll probably strip search Chinese tourists cause they are Chinese spies or something.

All the easy stuff have been done. Everything that us imposes on china will hav a cost on usa too. Meanwhile, export control on rare earth doesnt cost china too much. Seizing hk foreign reserve and impose banking sanctions on hk (this will affect usa too but us will draft it in a way to only affect non western banks)

I believe china wont be playing the rare earth card unless it intends to follow through it.

Remember that civilian use of rare earths will still be granted approval.

If the US escalates, then that will likely be taken away and the US will really be in trouble, not just its military production.

US will surely escalate because they have something called

it is difficult to see US will back down. Maybe it does, it will still take seemingly unrelated action like tawian and south china sea
