"The Chinese are probably on the way to build an island nearby.-------------------
Markus island is a long way from China and Japan is not the Philippines or Vietnam: they will vigorously dispute any intrusion.
The Chinese get spunky occasionally and do a flyby/cruise by of the islands off Okinawa which are much closer to China. Before they know it they have a JDF F-16 peeking into their windows.

Is it true that our nation’s rare-earth mines were deliberately closed and dismantled because it was cheaper to buy from China??

This might better explain POTUS’s trip to Vietnam. Between them, Bolivia, India, and Brazil, we’ll be just fine. China can go find some other huge free market world power customer.

The mineral deposit is a hydro-thermal vent submerged about a mile below the ocean surface. Will need something like a suction dredge to begin mining.

That’s wonderful news. Stops commie crazies and Iranian Mullahs from bombing the site...

Or under a national park. Might be worth looking into DiFi’s husbands dealings.

The Clintons were in bed with China and gave them a lot of control over a lot of our mining or we just closed them down
