China’s Upper Hand: Rare Earth Metals
China’s Upper Hand: Rare Earth Metals
In the trade war between the United States and China, the biggest sticking point is a handful of metals that are essential to the US and almost entirely under the control of China.
The problem is, China has now cut off America’s access to those metals, threatening American industry and the US military. Keith Bradsher explains how the United States became so dependent on China for these metals in the first place, and just how hard it will be to live without them.
Guest: Keith Bradsher, the Beijing bureau chief for The New York Times.
“Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke; among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be” Hosea 5:9
For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah; I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him. Hosea 5:14
