President Donald Trump announced that the United States had concluded an industry agreement with China, the issue of the final approval of Chinese President Xi Jinping. A central detail of the agreement includes the expansion of the United States to Chinese minerals in rare lands, in exchange for concessions that allow more Chinese academics to attend American universities and the export of delicate products to China.
Although all the main points of the agreement are still being carried out, the United States is private in negotiations. It seems that Beijing gives a concession that had already presented a month ago to raise the blockade in the expeditions of infrequent land minerals. The current agreement may be a short -term solution for a much greater long -term problem.
Composed of a steel from organization 17 (and that goes from heavy to light), each infrequent land mineral offers separate houses and uses. Minerals such as neodmia are a key detail in missile orientation systems, such as the Missile Tomahawk Cruise, helping to be more exact and maneuverable. The ititrium is used to cover the reaction engines to make sure they do not melt half a voltage due to higher temperatures. Gadolinio is for sound and radiation detection systems and radiation armor, in specific submarines in nuclear propulsion.
China’s domination is even superior in rare and strong land minerals, which is more critical for the production of defense equipment. Treat almost one hundred percent of heavy minerals in rare lands. At one time, Vietnam also had a safe capacity to treat that type of minerals, but its installation was closed in 2024 and is no longer operable.
China is also the only global manufacturer in samarium, a soft rare terrace steel that is essential for the army team, adding hunting airplanes, missiles, electrical war systems and radar and sound applications. Samario magnets are essential for signal generation and play a fundamental role in navigation, monitoring of objectives and risk detection. Samario magnets are also appreciated because they can tolerate higher temperatures without wasting their magnetic force, which is essential for the heat created through fast engines.
Within the framework of the War of the existing industry of Trump with China, export restrictions are strategically implemented through Beijing (which forces national manufacturers to request export licenses from the Chinese government) in April in seven medium and heavy land metals, in specific samarium, gadolinio, terbium, disprosio, lutetio, scandium e yttrium, which are all for the Defense industry.
