THEY BANNED IT: China Cuts Japan Off (Rare Earth Shock)

Описание: 🚨 China just weaponized rare earth exports against Japan, and this is NOT just another trade dispute. This is about supply chain control that took 50 years to build and could reshape global power forever.

💥 In January 2026, Beijing banned critical rare earth exports to Japan after Tokyo's Taiwan comments. But here's what mainstream media won't tell you: Japan still depends on China for 60-70% of its rare earths and nearly 100% of heavy rare earths like dysprosium and terbium—the exact materials needed for electric vehicles, robotics, and defense systems.

🔍 In this video, I break down the structural mechanics behind China's rare earth dominance:
✅ Why China controls 90% of global rare earth processing (not just mining)
✅ How Beijing built a 50-year trap that's nearly impossible to escape
✅ Why Japan's 15-year diversification effort still leaves them exposed
✅ What this means for global manufacturing and the future of EVs
✅ The geopolitical leverage China now holds over advanced economies

⚡ This isn't about geology—it's about deliberate supply chain architecture designed to control the future of technology. Every electric vehicle, wind turbine, and precision defense system depends on materials flowing through Chinese-controlled infrastructure.

🎯 By 2030, China could control 95% of rare earth processing while domestic demand absorbs most of their output. The window to escape this dependency is closing fast.

If you want to understand the real power dynamics shaping the global economy right now, this video reveals what most people completely miss.
