Rare Earth Retaliation: China Chokes America’s War Machine

The dragon has drawn a red line.

China just halted exports of key rare earths to the U.S., slapping export controls on seven categories of critical metals and magnets used in everything from EVs and smartphones to fighter jets, missiles, and drones, delivering a surgical strike to the spinal cord of America’s supply chain.

Welcome…

No rare earths for barbarians.
Warum China keinen „zollwütigen Barbaren“ anrufen wird - Pepe Escobar

Drei weise Affen wissen genau, was eine Taube, die sich als Adler ausgibt, wirklich vorhat.

Der Trump-Tarif-Tizzy (TTT) im Stil eines Kleinkind-Wutanfalls, der jetzt auf 145 % beschleunigt wurde – Tendenz steigend – ist ein weiteres donnerndes Markenzeichen der Taube, die das Schachbrett zerschlägt.

Es wird nicht funktionieren. Trump behauptete,…

🇺🇸🚨🇮🇷The US sows division; Iran and China reap unity

Western sanctions, led by the US, aim to crush Iran’s spirit, but they’ve only forged stronger bonds between Tehran and China. Since 2018, over 1,500 US sanctions have gutted Iran’s economy, slashing oil exports and spiking inflation past 35%.

Yet, China defies Washington’s grip:

🔸Beijing bought 1.91 million barrels of Iranian oil daily in March 2025

🔸Fueled $15 billion in bilateral trade last year

🔸The 2021 Iran-China 25-year pact, with $400 billion in promised investments, cemented this alliance, trading discounted oil for infrastructure and tech.

A looming US trade war could tighten this bond further. As Washington alienates Beijing, Iran offers a sanctions-proof partner, boosting oil flows and non-oil exports that were up 15% to $50 billion in 2024. From railways to drones, Iran’s resilience thrives on Chinese capital, mocking Western isolation.

⚠️ Il nuovo triangolo di Primakov, RIC (Russia-Iran-Cina) è perfettamente consapevole di queste mosse. Putin aveva caratterizzato metaforicamente la posizione russa nella guerra commerciale tra Stati Uniti e Cina quando ha ricordato che i cinesi hanno un buon proverbio: quando le tigri combattono nella valle, la scimmia intelligente si siede e guarda come va a finire.

Ora è più il caso di tre scimmie sagge perfettamente consapevoli di ciò che un piccione che si spaccia per aquila sta davvero combinando.
