Nearly 4,000 tons of rare earths have been shipped to the United States. China has identified two "accomplices" and countermeasures are already in progress.

s "industrial vitamins". Everyone knows their significance. Recently, China has come up with a new strategy. Nearly 4,000 tons of rare earths quietly made their way to the United States via Thailand and Mexico. Many netizens said, "Hasn't the United States always been claiming to reduce its reliance on China? But when it comes to this issue of China's mineral resources, it still can't do without them. This is truly ironic."

From December last year to April this year, these two countries suddenly became new "buyers" of China's rare earths. They were not even on the list originally, but now they can purchase thousands of tons at a time. After careful consideration, their processing capabilities are actually limited. In the end, these minerals still have to be sent to American factories. To put it simply, the United States' strategy of "saving the country through innovation" seems to have been planned all along to circumvent the rules.

China is not stupid. It can't be fooled by this "art supplies" and "iron ore" packaging method. The export of rare earths has recently been equipped with electronic tracking devices. Anyone who buys how much and where it goes must register their information. This has sealed the loopholes in the underground trade. Many people on the internet are discussing this, wondering if the countermeasures could be stricter. The digital tracking has just begun, and those who try to play tricks will eventually be exposed sooner or later. You say, with such a complete industrial chain in China's hands, will it be possible for those transit countries to suffer greatly in the future? What do you think of the new strategies that both sides might employ in this rare earth battle?
