We have our markets and that isn’t insignificant. But the global market dwarfs ours and resources aren’t equally divided. The rare earths are heavily concentrated in countries not truly allied with us.

We used to lead the market in terms of production of REE, but we started shipping a lot of ore to China for processing because it would be "clean" for us. That goes back to the Nixon administration.

I think it's true that we have proven/probable REE reserves that could last us a few decades, if exploited. Moreover, it's logical to believe there's a shite ton more REE deposits that have not been drilled out and can't be considered provable/probable.

The problem is doing something about it. It's not that there isn't a rational/promising path forward.

Dude is kinda losing his fastball if this shite is true. We talk and talk about China's shady bullshite, stealing tech, intel, etc. Then we let half a million prime thieving age ones in?

Ever been to an orchestra concert? Many Chinese students come here because we have some of the best music schools in the world - Julliard, New England conservatory, San Francisco Conservatory, Jacobs School of Music at IU, Curtis, etc.

Many, many of those have thousands of Chinese students who have been playing since they were 5. Many are great kids too as I’ve gotten to meet several.

It’s a reverse Trojan horse. They will come here thinking they with steal out tech but instead will be reprogrammed by out liberal colleges and take their woke selves back to China and that virus will spread there too…..

One of these days you guys will wake up to the fact that Trump is just another paid Zionist shill.

These remarks appear tied to a trade deal announcement with China, where he mentioned allowing Chinese students to continue attending U.S. colleges as part of an agreement with Xi Jinping.

no evidence suggests a specific plan to admit 500,000 students.



So, nothing has changed.

It never fails. People rush to judgment because Trump is involved only to find out they were getting pissy over misinformation.

After watching this play out hundreds of times, you'd think people would realize they should give Trump news some time. No man has been lied about more than Trump, but people fall for it over and over again.

The worst offenders also constantly complain about Trump exaggerating but then conveniently forget that complaint when they can use it against him, like here.

Chinese spies are embedded in every American institution. This is fricking dumb. We don’t need ‘more’ Chinese in this country.

This is absolutely not the "America First" mindset I voted for. Absolutely destroying this nation by importing foreigners of any kind to breed out what makes this nation great. Especially don't educate our enemy.

This kind of move is the opposite of making us great again.

This is abjectly false, but if you want to have some sort of faux melt down, go for it.
