China halting key minerals to US.
This is in response to the US looking into China’s subsidies of its green technology sector.
China produces most of the world’s supply of 17 elements which are key in the production of high tech items, due to its lax environmental regulations.
(You see, our clean and green policy is to outsource our “dirty stuff” to countries which are allowed to be “dirty”.)
So now we have China mad at us, and they’re going to exert pressure so we have to outsource more of our high tech production to them.
Isn’t that special???
