It's hilarious to me that:
whats this.
This issue will definitely be considered during approval. You need to declare how much rare earth your parts actually require, and high-purity rare earths will never be easily approved. China's licenses, like US chip regulations, will be revoked if your parts are found where they shouldn't be.
The fact that Canada could be pushed toward China by Trump precisely shows that Canada is unreliable. This damned country sits right next to the world’s largest economy, with a per capita GDP of over 80,000 USD, yet its economy is doing so poorly—why? It would rather turn to China than integrate with the United States? Can you imagine that? What the hell are Canadians?
why can't the us just siphon rees from all the approved legitimate licenses? i think they have that degree of control. we can throw any notions about lawfulness out the window.
oh also if it wasnt clear enough: in this scenario we also dont care about if anyone is able to make anything either
China should block all REE export to everyone period, any country that wants REE has to join BRI and swap dollar for RMB for trade. Otherwise they can buy Chinese finished goods products instead...If the US is willing to sacrifice their civilian industry for their MIC China is quite happy to oblige, in fact I'd say China is just looking for an excuse to block all REE to US period
China can just reduce rare earths exports, and just let these yankees shift round their dwindling supplies.

China should blacklist asml, tsmc, intel etc no matter what. This forces rest of the world to use smic,smee,huawei,etc chips
If they are forced to buy Chinese chips, then they have to use Chinese software thus adopting Chinese platforms and ecosystems... further supporting Chinese currency etc in a loop
China wins the AI race full stack, from REE to EUV to GPU to LLM models etc etc to API
Then China gets to charge the rest of the world the AI tax that I talked about earlier... further propping up RMB and Chinese hegemony and making China the first hyperpower civilization state
China has no choice, it all or nothing, now or neverwould it be a big hot war?
