Was China's rare earth export ban a retaliation against Trump's tariffs or a strategic timing to enact the ban? in c/asklemmygrad@lemmygrad.ml

My bad on the wording.

To clarify: was China’s rare earth ban a pre-planned contingency for any future Western aggression. or a specific tactic designed only for Trump’s tariffs.

I'm just curious because a user on the bear site said, 'the CPC was pressured against the wall and forced to use the rare earth ban for leverage.'

If Trump's tariffs hadn't happened, would China have found other ways to implement the ban?

Go to a Phở or Bún riêu restaurant.

Visit Uncle Hồ in Hanoi.

Crawl through the tunnels in Củ Chi, also try the guns there too ;)

Check out Phố đi bộ (walking street) and Chợ đêm (night market).

Play games in a gaming cafe.

Self reflection: I hate Reddit. So I really need to stop engaging with Lemmy users who still think they're on Reddit and then getting mad about it. in c/comradeship@lemmygrad.ml

Yeah. I was one of those fortunate lurkers on Reddit to have found this community and ProleWiki. care
