USA has to mine them domestically again. It's all so tiresome.
The Chinese are retarded and think we can't get rare earth minerals elsewhere.
>>64085304 (OP)
The USA has already begun sourcing alternatives. China won't have a near monopoly anymore.
The question is "what is China going to do when it can't use rare earth minerals as leverage anymore?"
>>64085315
Not some on and off button dude, mining and refinement is a large operation and don the con apparently finds it so bothersome he has to threaten stalwart allies with invasion and annexation for it
>>64085349
By 2027, the USA will be making 25% of the world's rare earth minerals, and China's stranglehold on supply will diminish entirely.
That's enough to meet domestic/military needs with some left over for export.
Depending on demand, this project can be scaled up to meet the needs of Europe's defense industries as well.
China's strategy to flood markets with bargain basement crap doesn't work anymore.

We can also acquire them from Canada, Australia, and other mineral-rich allies. It's not economical to spin up a rare earth refinement industry in short order, but it's not actually difficult once the resources are allocated.

The CCP has been saying they're cutting supply of rare earth minerals to the US for close to a decade now, and cuck every fucking time. Why is this time different?
>>64085354
It's an agreement with Australia, the groundwork is already in place. We'll be refining rare earth minerals in Texas and mining them in Australia. Many such agreements exist.

Fyi I think that as of today there are 6 facilities funded and under construction (or about to break ground) across the US for various REM.

what are the implications of being a chinkshill with no job and no life who spends every waking hour passive-aggressively shilling for china and denying it when found out?
>>64085472
Everything that needs to be done is in the process of being done.
Very soon, the world will say
"No thanks, China, we don't need your low priced shit."
>>64085494 >"No thanks, China, we don't need your low priced shit."
you will instead say "fucking shekelberg is putting a 300% markup on top of the 200% markup"
>>64085472
we would prefer chinese people trash their own country. we don't do rare earth mining because it's destructive. there are dense deposits in Idaho/Wyoming and across many western countries that don't develop them because China spent a shitload of money subsidizing rare earths for the entire globe to the point where the west lost or fell far behind in its refining capacity.
it's also the case that the US understands how to sanctions bust just as well as the chinese/russians do. the SR-71 was made with titanium mined in Ukraine during the cold war.
>>64085488 >>64085500
Why is chiner still allowing the US to import rear earth minerals? Why are the CCP such cucks that they can't even do what they say they're going to do? All bark, no bite. Nothing but tiny deformed muzzled Pekinese running around yapping.

in 1970, the Chinese were still in cannibalism mode.
While the USA had shortages of oil, the Chinese had shortages of food and were literally eating each other.

I like having clean drinking water and prefer our massive freshwater aquifers pollution free. I know, 2 things that lolbertarians and republicans absolutely hate (because they look at Giedi Prime and India and get an uncontrollable hard-on). But they're necessary for a healthy ag sector, and healthy environment.

We have a company called Niron out of MN that makes rare earth equivalent magnets out of iron and nitrogen, and they're ramping production up as an alternative to replace NeFdB magnets.
Zero strip mining, and they're ideal for military and industrial applications.
>>64085660
you are a mindbroken chinkshill.
repeating it is not going to make it real, sorry, your engines are worse. >>64085674
aren't you a little too angry? indentified bad faith chinkshill?
If China is so advanced why are they behind on everything? China thinks putting RGB lights on cheap infrastructure techniques from the 1950s or a high school science project some White kid would do are hallmarks of advanced R+D. Meanwhile the R+D giants use China as a source of cheap materials only.
>>64085774 >NOOO THEY'RE REAL THEY'RE REAL THEY'RE REAL!!!!! *stamps feet*
nope, sorry identified and angry bad-faith chinkshill, it's just you having a melty on /k/. and /k/ recognizing your extremely obvious melty and having a laugh about it, sorry that your career path didn't work out the way you wanted it to, turns out china doesn't reward shitty shills like you, you don't even get 50 cents.
