>German companies are giving China a front-row seat to their industrial blueprints: diagrams, supply chain layouts, customer lists, and even 3-year production forecasts, all this, just to get a 6-month license for rare earth supplies.
Worst part of it is that this is a reasonable request by China.
Unless they know how much rare earths is used in their car manufacturing it would be easy for them to siphon off large quantities.
There is also very likely going to be reporting on actual production numbers to check against forecasts.
Again, we made the bed by being absolute lapdogs for the mutts.
It will be funny to see if Goland Brumpf tries a stund to force the EU to deliver rare earths to the US.
The collapse is unavoidable by now, I would just want to see him do it to see what happens and how much suffering will follow.
