"Why was the U.S.'s only rare-earth element processing facility closed?
In 1998, the mine's separation plant ceased production of refined rare-earth compounds; it continued to produce bastnäsite concentrate. The mine closed in 2002 after a toxic waste spill and wasn't reopened due to competition from Chinese suppliers, though processing of previously mined ore continued."

Russia can and will supply all the oil China needs far into the future.

So China does not have much oil but it does have rare earths needed for EV batteries. So Joe tries to kill fossil fuels and promote EVs and China is building Coal fired power plants at a rate of i a week. Am I missing something here? Are we just giving China control of our auto industry for nothing?

Iran is selling China oil at a discount.

Iran as well is a founding member of the New Chinese Empire.....getting oil is not at all a problem for the CCP.
