China Halts Critical Exports as Trade War Intensifies

[AProudLefty]

China has suspended exports of a wide range of critical minerals and magnets, threatening to choke off supplies of components central to automakers, aerospace manufacturers, semiconductor companies and military contractors around the world.

Shipments of the magnets, essential for assembling everything from cars and drones to robots and missiles, have been halted at many Chinese ports while the Chinese government drafts a new regulatory system. Once in place, the new system could permanently prevent supplies from reaching certain companies, including American military contractors.

The official crackdown is part of China’s retaliation for President Trump’s sharp increase in tariffs that started on April 2.

China started limiting exports of such stuff to "unfriendly countries" such as America a long time ago...at least a year I think.

That the constantly warmongering Americans depend upon Chinese exports for military gear production is a huge completely forseeable problem which has been developing for a couple or a few decades.

Govx.com now has American made gear. It's all good...

Sounds like the US needed this wakeup call if China had us over a barrel for critical resources.

It's been known about for well over a decade, the Mountain Pass mine operated by Molycorp in California was allowed to go broke. Even when it started again in 2015 as MP Materials, which didn't last very long before it was resurrected as MP Materials in 2017. Needless to say the processing of the raw materials is not done in California due to onerous regulation but sent abroad to China!!

The collapse of American rare earth mining — and lessons learned

In this commentary, a reader argues it's the U.S. government’s responsibility to set the stage for increased American rare earth production.

“I will go anywhere in the world to open new markets for American products. And I will not stand by when our competitors don’t play by the rules. We’ve brought trade cases against China at nearly twice the rate as the last administration – and it’s made a difference. Over a thousand Americans are working today because we stopped a surge in Chinese tires. But we need to do more. It’s not right when another country lets our movies, music, and software be pirated. It’s not fair when foreign manufacturers have a leg up on ours only because they’re heavily subsidized.”

-President Barack Obama, 1/24/2012

The United States, the European Union and Japan are filing a challenge with the World Trade Organization against China’s export restrictions on minerals that are crucial for the production of many high-tech devices, President Barack Obama announced Tuesday.
https://edition.cnn.com/2012/03/13/world/asia/china-rare-earths-case/
In a statement to reporters at the White House, Obama said the case seeks to force China to lift export limits on certain minerals known as rare earths.

We skipped our mining of rare earth metals to use China's. We have lots of them. https://www.csmonitor.com/World/Asi...gclid=Cj0KCQjwh_i_BhCzARIsANimeoGlb5WgNjn9Xgz

Is it OK to support the Chinese instead of the USA in Trump's trade war against the WTO and the world ?

Yep. Trump is as American as Hermann Goring.

Use any means to restore the White House to Americans.
