Thanks Bill Clinton!
Yes, rare earth metals are everywhere but only in a handful of economically feasible locations where they exist in abundance for efficient mining.

Afghanistan is one, if we just allowed the nation to stabilize instead of blowing it up.
Did you know the Taliban offered to hand over binLaden TWICE? First, they wanted to see the evidence that binLaden was involved, after the war started, they offered him up unconditionally if the war stopped so we ended up spending like 5 trillion dollars to hand it over to China. Probably made a decent amount of money on heroine and opium but the Chinese kneecapped us there even with Fentanyl.
That's our awesome fucking Neocon shithead's genius!

Sudan offered Bin Laden as well. Clinton turned them down because he needed a Bin Laden issue, not a solution by capture.

I don't know.
It's quite possible that we have a bunch of Manchurian Candidates running our nation who are intentionally selling out our nation.
China will make relations with Afghanistan, and they will mine the rare earths there. Was this the plan all along? Possibly.
Look at our intelligence agencies, they allow Antifa and BLM to run rampant for 9 months and for what? To make it plausible to believe that a senile hair sniffing pervert actually won the election, and not only that, is the most popular presidential candidate in all of US history, winning the largest percentage of the eligible vote ever in history?
Don't dismiss the possibility that our nation are run be people openly engaged in treason. They overthrew the last presidential election, they lie to the public constantly, they frame people constantly like they did with Whitmer's "kidnapping". You have to consider the possibility.
Think like a sociopath, if you can observe it as something like a video game, where there are no real consequences, you can see the possibility. It's possible that our government is entirely infiltrated by China. More likely than they are infiltrated by the Russians.
People's emotions block their ability to think. People go into "well, NOBODY would be THAT evil" - sure they would. President Clinton bombed the al-Shifa pharmaceutical plant on the same day that Monica Lewinsky presented her blue dress to a court to distract from the fact that yeah, he got a BJ from a girl that was SLIGHTLY older than his daughter. That action directly killed around a dozen people, and led to the death of more than 50,000 people because it was Sudan's only pharmaceutical plant that produced drugs to prevent malaria. Clinton claimed it was producing chemical weapons precursors, there was no evidence of this at all.
Clinton should have been impeached for that. Bush should have been impeached for lying us into the Iraq War. Obama should have been impeached for lying us into bombing Libya, Syria, Sudan, and Somalia. These people are complete fucking monsters.
You need to appreciate what the enemy is. It's not some tinpot dictator that our government once allied itself with a dozen years ago that our government now is unhappy with. They're right here, on our soil.

It's fucking trivial to look this shit up, but NOT on Google.

You ignore everything and listen to the fucking talking CIA heads on fucking teeeeveeee, the goddamned propaganda box.
Remember what they've been saying lately. Take the vaccine and you'll have immunity and stop the spread, Ukraine is winning the war and will win it any day now, Ukraine has NEVER been in a civil war, and of course Assad is gassing his own people, Qaddafi was "about to cause a humanitarian crisis", Biden is the most popular presidential candidate in all of US history, and the biggest threat to "our dumbocrazy" are white people. Those credible paragons of virtue and information.
If people just understood, had SOME limited comprehension of just how criminal the US government is, we could force reform, but Ignorance is Strength, for our government. that's why they control education, take such steps to limit news media, and are infesting Twitter, Google, and Facebook.

What Happened: The volume of Chinese rare earth metals shipped to Europe on trains across Russia surged to 36,074 tons in just the first nine months of 2022, double the amount shipped on the route in the 12 months of 2021, Bloomberg reported on 22 January. Tungsten and Lanthanum comprise a large portion of the growing shipments, which are being shipped by rail because they can reach Germany more cheaply and weeks faster than it would take to ship them by sea, by which around 97% of China-EU goods trade volumes are shipped.
Why It Matters: Though rare earth elements are critical for a range of products from batteries to magnets and microchips, the massive increase in shipments appears in large part driven by European arms and ammunition producers ramping up production following the start of the war in Ukraine. As these rare earth shipments are ultimately being used to support weapons deliveries to the Ukrainian army, speculation will continue to grow that Moscow could block this transit route to disrupt European arms flows to Ukraine and make rare earth supplies from China to Europe more expensive. Moscow is unlikely, however, to disrupt the route because this would undermine Russia's reputation as a reliable transit country and significantly harm its relations with Beijing. Pressure meanwhile may grow on European buyers of Russian rare earths to preemptively switch to an alternative route bypassing Russia to avoid the vulnerability of this critical supply chain.
