#China announced the #RareEarth #minerals controls late on Friday as part of a broader package of #tariffs & company restrictions in #retaliation for #Trump's decision to hike tariffs against most Chinese products to 54%.

China announced additional tariffs of 34% on #US goods.

It added 11 entities to the "unreliable entity" list.

And it filed a complaint at the World Trade Organization #WTO.

"Indiana Wants Me" is a song written, composed, and originally recorded by Canadian singer-songwriter #RDeanTaylor. It was released on the #RareEarth label, a subsidiary of #Motown Records, in 1970, and was a top ten hit in both the US and UK. In #Cashbox magazine, the single hit #1. The song spent two weeks at #2 in Canada. The song is written from the viewpoint of someone who has killed a man out of defending his wife's honor; he is missing his family.

"#Trump says #Ukraine ‘essentially agreed’ to $500 billion #rareEarth deal"

much of the rare earths are in areas occupied by #russia

ukraine knows what that means

😉

also #biden proposed this deal

but ukraine delayed, to make the deal with trump instead

why?

because trump is a vindictive asshole and #zelensky knows it

trump would have killed any deal made by biden

instead, the orange moron babbles about his genius deal making

ukraine is playing him like a fiddle

Here is the geophysical survey data and drill core locations of another #RareEarth prospecting site at Salambidwe, Malawi.

Unlike the diagram in the previous post, this one exhibits the typical erasure of the existing landscape, which is reduced to blank white page with a single dotted -line of a national border. Such visualisations perpetuate the colonial fallacy of Terra Nullis.

.. this one is a plan for a #RareEarth carbonatite mine in Longonjo. The black dots mark locations of drill-core sampling.

The British Colonial Geological Survey noted the sites of numerous rare earth carbonatite deposits in its colonial territories on the 1950s, but they weren't considered economically viable until the current demand for rare earth metals for EVs soared.

"Why does Trump want Ukraine’s ‘rare earths’?"

"Feb 6, 2025
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Feb. 3 he was looking to cut a deal with Ukraine by giving the war-torn country weapons and aid in return for its “rare earths and other things.” But what exactly did Trump mean and what does Ukraine have to offer to the U.S? The Kyiv Independent spoke with Volodymyr Landa, a senior economist at the Center for Economic Strategy, to find out what critical minerals Ukraine has and how they could be exchanged for security guarantees."

Wonder why #DJT tariffs on #Canada far exceed those on #China?

Quoted details I saw today from a report by a lead #Economist with a key US #Investment firm warning investors #SiliconValley isn't where our silicon security comes from:

It is hard to overstate the degree of leverage #Beijing has over the U.S. #economy – ...For example China’s control over key raw materials includes over 60% of global #silicon for #ComputerChip mfg.

They have already experimented with export bans on #RareEarth #minerals and other key raw materials for the tech industry.

That's Not All Folks!

Great, so #climatechange is now spurring #imperialism?

Scientists find huge trove of #RareMetals needed for clean energy hidden inside toxic coal waste | CNN cnn.com/2024/12/06/climate/coa Scientists analyzed #CoalAsh from power plants across the United States and found it could contain up to 11 million tons of rare earth elements — nearly eight times the amount the US has in domestic reserves — worth around $8.4 billion

It offers a huge potential source of domestic #RareEarth elements without the need for new mining,
