Add one less (big) reason for reliance on foreign resources. Go Trump! Go USA! KAG!

It sounds like they’ve almost been saving this info for the next time China used withholding rare earths as a threat.

I was thinking along the same lines. Just wait until the Chinese issues the threat. I wonder what other surprises we have in store for China.
To: scoresettled
That was convenient.
No doubt China isn’t too happy with that announcement.

China thought they had us AND the world over a barrel... But I’m guessing in a war situation China would bomb the island with the rare earth stuff... we need to buy some and stockpile it in a safe place.

I think you are right! Hence recent POTUS trip to Japan. This is very juicy. Winning.

It looks like it’s far enough away from China to keep them out. The only islands in the distant neighborhood are Wake Island and the Northern Marianas, US territory. Better make sure it’s well-occupied, still.

We should have left Communist China in the economic dark ages, where they belong. Opening trade with China just allowed them to make much of the free world dependent upon them, which they of course have used as leverage to expand their influence.
