    no they’re gonna choke on it. Why would China supply the US with weapons that it’ll use in its war against China. Can’t believe China’s waiting until 2027. They’ve banned all rare earths for military use, and the rest are on a case by case basis, knowing that the US will cheat and redirect some from domestic use back to the military. Next thing you know the US military will be buying washing machines😉

      That’s really the elephant in the room. The US is very openly threatening China with war, but also expects China to fuel their war machine.
