China's dominance of rare earth refinement into rare earth magnets (90% of the world production) can be reversed in a few months or years right?

fucking magnets

>>518603326 (OP)
tell them to eat their magnets

New super power 60% of china is mountain they can keep mining until the next millennium

>>518603326 (OP)
I don't know why we would need these but I'm sure we can just get them by sending miners to Africa or something

Didn't trump specifically close the Chips act that would've helped mitigate this shit

>>518603326 (OP)
considering usa has no big drone stockpiles you are all dead in 2 years while trying to figure out how to do useful shit with the weird sand

>>518603527
Refining it is the hardest part, not the mining process. And REE are needed by modern weaponry since everything is computer

>can be reversed in a few months or years right?
Sure, goy... Mines opened up and processing of ores -- of which the byproduct is uranium -- can be done overnight, goy. So, keep #Vooting against your interest, demo-goy.

>>518603417
how do they work?

>>518603603
To be fair, the Taiwanese were not "finna" employ D. E. I. niggers and Affirmative Action sheboons in highly specialised, critical roles in their industry that took generations to hone and establish (the very reasons mutts cannot do it); which was a prerequisite for setting up shop in Muttmerica.

So, there was never any "Chips Act" in reality; any more than there was ever going to be a drop in food costs or housing prices; a rise in employment, jobs, and wages; fewer wars etc., etc., etc..

If it's anything like Canada, the main reason we don't refine anything is because of environmental regulations. For example, there is literally a single copper smelther in Canada and it's in the east. Everything west gets shipped to China.

>>518603326 (OP)
Dumb question. Can we buy ingots of any of these rare earth metals, like gold/silver ingots? Or, is there some sort of radiation issue/other issue?

>>518604072
>the main reason we don't refine anything is because of environmental regulations.
'Tis. Mutts had most of the REE production back before it was a thing (Molycorp, or some such); but, like your jobs and qualify of living, off-shored it all to the lowest bidders where they were willing to poison their environment in order to catch up to the West. Thus, the chinks trawled it all up -- clearly knowing ahead of time the import of owning an non-substitutable resource that was going to be integral to almost every electronics of note today; including warfighting.

Today, only the Oz company, Lynas (ASX:LYC) are of any competitive note, and even they have issues with the processing (off-shored to Malaysia, which can be manipulated by China). They are in the process of building processing in plants in Muttland... However, I haven't checked on the progress of that, aside from knowing it takes 10~15 years to get such projects running to capacity.

>>518604401
The processing results in uranium and other difficult-to-process byproducts; stuff that the chinks just bury underground, because they don't give two fucks -- just spraying green paint over the arid lands they create -- and given they are looking to lebensraum the planet after the next world war anyway.

So, no -- it's the processing that is the issue. REE's aren't that "rare" per se; they're just dispersed all over the place and not in heap. The chinks have a lot or what's currently known; but, they are not the only ones. If the plants weren't scuttled thanks to (((globalism))) and left-side Bell Curve politicians, the chinks would not have the leverage that have had and will continue to enjoy for years to come.

As Teddy said, nine-tenths of wisdom is being wise on time.

>>518603326 (OP)
China is already fucked. Trump already got several alternative rare earth sources lined up in the past few months, from Alaska, Ukraine, and Africa.

>>518603771
Why wouldn't we be able to refine it? Looking at this now it just makes it sound like they're refining more than most others not that no one else is able to.

If it's that critical to national defense we probably have a lot that we already do and just don't report due to national security.

>>518604837
It's not a matter of reversing it, it's a matter of making sure it never happens again.

I'm not sure how much of the world's rare earth supply is controlled by China.

>>518604837
>>518604892
Go do It from zero with no trained personnel, no facilities nor machinery which the chinks also have dominance on since they were the ones doing the refinement all these decades

>>518604892
The main reason why no country is willing to refine rare metals is due to the massive amount of pollutants it would cause which is inline with the climate change hysteria of the past decades. America can get up to 70% of China's production of most rare metals within a year if they remove regulations.

>>518604837
>Trump already got several alternative rare earth sources
"Sources" aren't the issue. They could have all of what's in the ground in China, and it still won't matter unless it can be refined -- a process that takes time to set-up and accomplish (from scratch, 10~15 years). That's why Lynas has contracts with the mutt gov't, and why its stocks are now mooning and making the likes kikes and myself, rich!

>>518603326 (OP)
Rare earths are everywhere, China is just the only place dumb enough to strip mine their land for pennies. There are plenty of other places to get the shit if we have to.

10 years ago Var literally said that Rare Earths were going to be what brings down the west

>>518605063
Same thing applies to the chips -- highly specialised industries evolved in disciplined, high-trust societies with generationally ingrained work ethics, cannot be supplanted into failed state, negrified biomes in the throes of imperial collapse, wherein the only metric is, "HAS YOUR CORPORATION SATISFIED THIS QUARTER'S NIGGER WORSHIP QUOTA?!"

Sampling conducted in October 2024 at Adriano (11002L) confirmed 100% anomalous rare earth
results, with 74% of samples returning over 1,000 parts per million (ppm) total rare earth oxidesand
a peak grade of 32,393 ppm.The samples also showed a strong magnetic rare earth component

>>518605472

That won't go anywhere unless mutts divert kike protection money to surrounding them with SAMS and EMP dishes. Kikes will pay nigger warlords to take it over, then they'll lease it to the chinks. Unless the stuff can, at the very least, be processed out of chink reach, it's just another pump n' dump scam. Mutts have their own REE's; they just cannot process it.

>Sampling conducted
>translation: by 2040, the actual processing MIGHT begin

>>518605296
The US shat its pants a few months ago when this was brought up. You are an over-financialised, service economy failed nation coasting off WW2. It's tick tock for you, and all your vassal states (including mine).

>>518603473
There should be evolutionary laws put in place in the human world:
No nation can provide meat nor wheat to other nations

>>518605617
The same place as all ore -- beneath the earth. With REE's, it's more about how they're dispersed -- all over the place -- and how to process them. It's not like oil and Arabia, where mutts oil barons just moved in and it was a done deal; with REE's, there is no "mega deposit". Chinks have a good amount, and because they were given all the processing know-how by mutts, they are now established in both extraction and processing.

>think: giving the Saudis everything and them no longer needing mutts anything

Remember when the new rare earth mine was supposed to open in Serbia and the people protested till the government fell? That's why we can't have nice things

>>518605688
>le service economy
Low IQ take, every time.
The fact that when you think of "service" you think fast food wagies does not entail this is what a service economy is. There literally is no manufacturing or economy without financial services. A factory needs logistics and customers, and a sound business model, or it can't exist. There are no goods without services.
It also misses the fact that burgers have a massive energy sector, which is the most important part of a modern economy. Any shit hole can have manufacturing, energy and high level services need strong development protected by a powerful legal system.

>>518606273
>protesting
They did that in Malaysia too, when Australia out-sourced the processing there -- held it up for years. However, they were eventually placated with investments, I. A. E. A. compliance assurances, and certain under-the-table payolas.

In the end, it was more about the chinks interfering with the deal in order to better secure their monopoly; and we all know that the Serbshits land thieves are one of the most pathetically kowtowing, chink colonies on the planet...

It takes 20+ years to open a single regular metal producing mine in the usa. Good luck mining for toxic metals...

>>518605287
>15 years
Lmao no
The US is a juggernaut, it could setup an equivalent is 4, but the processes are environmentally unfriendly, and thus they outsourced it all to a shithole.
They will probably outsource that to a different shithole instead.

Delulu. You're looking at it through World War prism; when, today, mutts cannot even out fuck goat-fuckers, and when all their wares do not pass GO!, do not collect 200 half-shekels, and go directly to its Sinai suicide synagogue.

So, what COULD be done is about as far from what CAN be done or WILL be done, as a Muttmerican is from [actually] walking on the Moon,

>>518603326 (OP)
Their dominance is only possible because they use the cheapest dirtiest methods and don't care if entire provinces become toxic wastelands with city populations dying before they hit 60.

Same attitude that Mao had when threatened with nukes.

"What if they killed 300 million of us? We would still have many people left."

>>518607247
It wouldn't matter, as it's worthless unprocessed. In its raw form, It's not gold, or even coal; and that is the entire rub of the situation. If it were just a matter of acquiring it, it would be a simply matter of mutts paying for it / threatening "democracy" to anyone who has it and doesn't want to sell. However, because it's all about the processing, time is the issue, and that is why the orange kike cock holster is uncustomarily kvetching out aloud about something that isn't about himself.

>>518604401
>Can we buy ingots of any of these rare earth metals
yeah, you can buy neodymium magnets

>>518607426
>They can this is a false argument
That's, literally, not an arguement.

>Basically. Chip Factories in Taiwan are slave labor.
Only state schools are great schools drop-outs use "basically" as a sentence starter, and if you think the Taiwanese are mainland chinks, extrapolated, I guarantee (You) that will be stuck in /pol/ stasis forever.

>Useless when you have no energy and dies when you turn 40
The natty human lifespan today is 38 years -- all additional years come from sanitation, diet, and low stress environments... Not that that has anything to do with the price of REE tea in China.

>>518607484
>Their dominance is only possible because they use the cheapest dirtiest methods and don't care if entire provinces become toxic wastelands
In part, correct; and that's rather self-explanatory. The other part, without which the aforementioned part would be immaterial, is the selling-out of the West to the globe's lowest bidding thirdies -- China being the erstwhile league leader (poojeets are now making a run for the cup). Mutts had all the REE industry they would ever have needed to maintain the hegemony -- in fact, pioneering the extraction and processing thereof -- and then, literally, handed it in a wok to the chinks.

Of course, this is true to mutt form, and may have even been what they wanted in order to later stoke war (think: WWII oil embargoes on Japan)... Albeit, like with the Internet being let loose, it's unlikely that the mutt calculus, if it even existed, foresaw the resource being as important as it has turned out to be, and it directly dictating whether it could even play it war card when the time came...

>your "experts" are not that smart

>>518606552

>>518603326 (OP)

>>518608133
>until it really mattered
When was that going to be, exactly -- before or after niggers were all made honourary 5-star Wakanda generals?

It's not a chicken-egg argument -- the orange nigger is who started this, and now he's soiling his geriatric diaper because some brass have whispered into his ear trumpet that, without REE's, there is not even the "truthful hyperbole" of "AMERIKKKA STRONK!!".

No.
Because China not only has the refinery but also the refining technology. Believe it or not, China is the only country with the patents and knowledge to extract nine critical minerals from a patch of ground with high purity vs. the US/West who can only extract one or two elements with low purity.

China's rare earth ban isn't just banning sales of rare earth, but also banning the export of refining technologies and the confiscation of passports of scientists and engineers who have experience with RE extraction.

For once, China actually has the US by the balls in terms of technology.

Actually, yes. The production chain is actually extent in the US, you just have to execute the entire EPA by firing squad and black bag every judge who tries to issue an injunction on suspending environmental protection regulations. Which is still less painful than continuing to let the Chinks fuck us in the ass all so the elites than squeeze a few dollars more out of the dessicated corpse of the West. TJD TOTAL JUDICIARY DEATH

No, the best hope is for someone to figure out a remunerative way to extract them from chemical and waste processes already happening in western industries, which are still going to be an environmental pain in the ass, or for some to figure out a way to create fake rare earth alloys in a lab, which will be expensive as fuck.
Or you could become the most influential man in the history of humanity by figuring out how to get them from the bottom of the oceans.

>>518603326 (OP)
No, refining that shit requires a fuckton of energy and produces a fuckton of pollution, China is the only one that can do it because they're SOCIALISTS so they get free energy and don't give a fuck about pollution

MIGA told me that we had all the leverage and we were gonna force China to kneel. I was told by Zeihanites that China would starve if we didn't sell them food, but they don't even want our basedbeans anymore. Was I lied to? I don't like when people lie to me.

Exactly. People should be careful with the "bring back factories" rhetoric. It's a step backwards.

>>518603527
cause they're RARE
either way, it seems unlikely that they're concentrated only in china for whatever reason. So more likely is that china is the only country that invested in searching and mining them.

no, just like absolutely nobody can close the gap with Taiwan has in microchips, nobody can do it with China and rare earths. Mostly due to the fact that most governments can't afford the environmental costs

>>518603527
Look at the chart, the US is already mining plenty.
The issue is refining, which is horrible for the environment, but China doesn't give a shit about the environment. Hence the whole world has outsourced their pollution to China basically.

>>518605063
>Go do It from zero with no trained personnel
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_Pass_Rare_Earth_Mine
The US already refines a reasonably significant amount domestically. The issue is how to do it without poisoning half the countryside.

Here is my point why I don't care!

1. I blame the Military for not hanging the traitors, for this and countless other treasonous crimes against North America and Europe, Humanity.
2. I blame the traitors and all the rest of us for our ignorant idiocy that pit us in this position.
3. I blame the above for Continuing to take shortcuts to our death.
4. I expect this from China, only an idiot would not.
5. I no longer care, because when I screamed for fifteen years and many others generals went to work doing everything that would destroy us vs saving us. I did none of it and will pay a price like most because we depend on critical aspects of survival from our advertisers thanks to the traitors which roam free and live it up until the end while we got to be crushed psychologically, emotionally and physically for Decades and a whole lifetime for some.

Fuck you All, cattle.

Btw, this is nothing... what's coming because of the treason and letting treason walk and finish the job.

Dust gets picked up by wind and carries across the country. Realistically the most likely outcome is you'll find some other 3rd world country happy to refine it and send the ore there while operating an amount domestically to meet defense needs (like you already do).

Mutts keep seeing these insane production and industrial numbers and pretending credit card loans to subscribe to onlyfans is a superior economy. You're already dead.

The US may be ahead in other technologies, but rare earth elements are an exception. Without China's facilities, the US can't refine its own mined rare earths

The US literally lacks the industrial-scale hardware and environmental capacity to refine heavy rare earths. Processing rare earths produces massive toxic waste, acid, and radioactive byproducts something the US cannot handle domestically at scale.

China has been doing this for 40+ years as a state-backed program, that's why controls over 90% of global rare earth refining.

they blocked some software shit, and other manufacturing shit. desu i don't really see how those things will be effective though. software can be made from nothing, just a bunch of typing, and airplane parts for 747s is silly since china already stole all the info needed to make their own, and currently are.

To all non retards in this thread.
Please notice the flags of the absolute seething retards, all are either amerigolem retards or flags on which there are stationed zogdogs.
They are predictable as always, and are /k/oping like no tomorrow.

I heard the refining process basically kills everything around the refinery for 100 miles and gives everyone that works there cancer.

If Palestinians were smart they would put a refinery in Gaza. Can you imagine?

It's less important that the American military is crippled, more so that China's military is strong enough to have a coinflip chance in the first island chain.

And how do magnets work - well even superkike Feynman couldn't answer that one.

Dude they literally can't, for the same reason burgers can't stop Russians from exporting oil and other shit no matter how hard they try: just buy it through a middleman, or outside the normal trade system.
Besides, they've got enough infrastructure they can provide for what they need for their military. They literally don't need to be a world supplier.
Can their consumer goods market get funded up in the short term? Probably. But their fancy missiles will still fly.
Just look at Ukraine: the Chinese are helping Russia and trying to restrict drone supply, yet the Ukrainians are fielding more drones than ever. More than Russia even.
This is why this tariff shit is mainly about the domestic economy in the long term, the international relations in just the short.

>>518605531
This is largely true, but it's not as simple as "middle men". The US has finally abandoned their WW2 pecking orders more than anything else. We were forced to allow talented people to thrive during the war and everyone learned to follow a chain of command. The rich stock-holders broke that old system but it was in decline anyway since we boomers were replacing our dads in the corner offices. Liberal politics brought gender and race quotas and turned our offices into constant legal bickering. Middle men jobs are the only thing that thrives other than incompetent government jobs.

We aren't really any different than the rest of the world, but it's not reasonable to expect us to be so on a constant basis, simply because of our WW2 policies. In the end, class distinctions, patronage and nepotism always win.

I'd love to give them advice on how to "make America great again" but it's really a joke. Nobody in MAGA understands or wants that old order. Do NOT think that China or Canada are any different.

When it comes down to REE, the main thing stopping us from making them is rich people and liberals who won't tolerate the strip mining.

>>518626422
that war is winding down anyway. on a geological time scale.

>>518626473
Look at the stats. The Ukrainains use more drones, partially due to a lack of artillery, like a supplement. Russians use more glide bombs.

>>518626731
2 more week, right?

Fun fact this is because China has reverse engineered mining tech from recovered craft.

They have more of them than anyone else, so it's only natural that they lead the rare earth market. This graph surprises me, I must say. How could Vietnam have more rare earth minerals than Russia?

>>518604837
Didn’t Ukraine lose those mines? How long until the others are online? How much can they produce?

>>518603326 (OP)
Decade atleast

I have a friend that worked at micron as one of first jobs. Many days he barely got any sleep, a some times his gf helped him get dressed because he was so tired. Micron also hired a shit ton of HB-1s because they know they can work them to death or send them back.

Rare earth metals aren't actually rare, it's cheaper to mine them in China because they don't have any environmental regulations.

>>518638934
You lot are absolute braintards.
Westoids on average are dumb as bricks, which is why you need massive brain drain, constantly.

You think it's easy to "mine" them? Not even speaking of the environmental hazard.

Infrastructure and knowledge, both available in China.
Chinese engineers and scientists working in that field now are under very strict let's say surveillance. CIA and the likes are surely trying to bribe those Chinese.
Which is is why for instance those specialists cannot go abroad without giving away their ID first and get special permission papers.

>>518604892
It would have to be an industry financed by the government almost entirely as China made it impossible for it to be profitable. They have several universities that specialize in rare earth sciences while US has none, and the knowledge, startup costs and timeline will make it a tough ask. US debt is out of control and now they're faced with the prospect of acquiring/building/operating enough mining and refining capacity to make up for CHINA. The processes involved are advanced chemical in some cases similar to enriching uranium or something.

people like this vote. we're so fucked

>"Rare earth minerals"
>absolutely no material in neodymium is considered "rare"

And then they pay CERN scientists to use them all and STILL not answer how the fuck they actually work. They waste them all on tokamak after tokamak knowing full well each on will fail. Maybe they are becoming rare at the rate the stupid faggots waste them?

>>518618471
There are cleaner ways to do it, it's just more expensive.
Benevolent business needs protection from cheaper foreign exploitation.

The only shocking thing about this situation is that the west maneuvered itself in this situation. China pulled the rare earth card already a decade ago with japan and they learned nothing from it.
