Interesting readddd. You got me when you said you lost 5 subs over this essay. Must be the Anti-AI bots 😂💯

This really helped me understand the issues at stake. Is China’s current system essentially the national champion approach? I know a lot of it is state-owned enterprises…

Thanks @Deidre for reading and engaging with this. That’s a great question. And yes, rare earth production in China is owned by large conglomerates rather than many independent entities, and the conglomerates are state directed and state backed.
