I'm not sure China even cares that much anymore, USA has already blocked several major Chinese industries or put unrealistic tariffs on them, making USA not nearly as relevant as the size would normally make it.
USA will simply have to use 2nd rate magnets, just like they will have to use 2nd rate of many other things because of their tariffs against the entire world.
