China Gears Up to Weaponize Rare Earths in Trade War

As previously documented several times and warned about in the past, the threat of China’s rare earth monopol is being weaponized. This wasn’t suddenly an issue that popped up under Trump because Trump happens to be the current U.S. President. It was one threat of many in the making by China used as a means to an end, with the end game being a United States defeat — eventually militarily.

China Threatens to Pull Pin on Global Economic Hand Grenade

 

The U.S. shouldn’t underestimate China’s ability to fight the trade war, the People’s Daily, a flagship newspaper of the ruling Communist Party, said in an editorial Wednesday that used some historically significant language on the weight of China’s intent.

The newspaper’s commentary included a rare Chinese phrase that means “don’t say I didn’t warn you.” The specific wording was used by the paper in 1962 before China went to war with India, and “those familiar with Chinese diplomatic language know the weight of this phrase,” the Global Times, a newspaper affiliated with the Communist Party, said in an article last April. It was also used before conflict broke out between China and Vietnam in 1979.

How Yuan Reserve Currency Approval Will Doom the Dollar

Pentagon Warns of Chinese Arms Dominance

Essentially after decades of radicalizing Islam (See also HERE), the Soviet Union had achieved its goal in distracting America instead focusing on the enemy behind the enemy: Today’s neo-Soviet Union along with China, creating One Clenched Fist.

Russia had bode its time and stuck to its long-term objective of taking out America while it has squanders all resources, time, effort, money and lives on chasing terrorists around with an endless supply of human replacements in the pipeline.

What’s more, in today’s times, even the attention of Americans is now being taken off Islam and focused on NWO conspiracy theories and red herrings by people like Alex Jones, — who likely is on Russian payroll — where ironically nobody can identify a single individual.

 

‘Alarmed’ at PRC buildup over last 15 years

China’s development of precision weapons and other advanced capabilities has undermined U.S. military superiority, the Pentagon’s senior weapons developer told Congress on Wednesday.

“We’re at risk and the situation is getting worse,” Frank Kendall, undersecretary of defense for acquisition, said.

Kendall singled out China’s military buildup as a major worry, noting that in 1994 the communist state was assessed by U.S. intelligence agencies to be a backward military power, but one that would be more advanced in 10 or 15 years.

He also noted Russia’s increasingly threatening military posture.
