For China, President Donald Trump’s use of the term “G2” is an acknowledgment of its growing power. But for U.S. allies, it raises fears they could be cut out of decision-making.
It took months since Trump was back to remodling the White House for Trump to call China. That call happened right after China hit the off button on rare earth metals. The ones we need to keep modern society as we know it functional.
Something to keep in mind when Trump starts talking about unlimited weapon stockpiles which need China in order to be made.
And US needing China’s material is only true because the US is at late stage capitalism where we rely on the cheapest country labor for imports.
We’re the 2nd largest producer, and have new projects underway to surpass China… But we have to actually spend the money and time to do so, and most companies would rather not pay US wages.
