Don't blame Trump for being reckless; the United States has indeed tried to rebuild its rare earth production lines, but the capitalist system struggles with such capital-intensive, low-profit ventures.

Just as things were starting to improve here in the U.S., the rabbits secretly lowered prices, and American rare earth companies are done for 😂

So it's better to decouple and sever ties, 'build high walls and accumulate grain.'

However, in the long run, the decoupling between China and the U.S. has only just begun; there are still many strategic interests between them, including money, assets, and people, all of which need to be gradually decoupled.

Recent discussions about 'returnees' also reflect this issue.
