Rare Earths: China's New Geopolitical Weapon?

The U.S. and China are in a tech competition, like a new Cold War.

China has control over rare earths, used in powerful magnets.

The U.S. is worried because China is investing a lot in making their own chips.

Rare earths are important for making motors in many things, even weapons.

The U.S. has not invested as much in rare earth, so it could be at a disadvantage.

Also, America's battery production might not be growing fast enough and would need to depend more on China.
