To be precise: It’s a decapitation of the military’s -political- leadership. 5 out of 9 are commissars; another (Wang Chunning) was the People’s Armed Police head. That’s probably not an operational shakeup; that looks like a countercoup. Makes you wonder…
holy shit it's a massacre massive purge of the CCP military's top ranks

TL/DR: there are no quick fixes - industry requires sustained government support in terms of subsidies, protection, and favorable regulation for a decade or more. We knew this, but many do not.
This question--why can't we just solve our rare earths problem already!--comes up a lot. As someone who worked on this when I was in government, several thoughts. This is to explain, not defend, why we are where we are, and to offer recommendations. Clearly, we need to fix the

Small vent: You know what's funny? I have "Trump is the evil personification of fascism" friends. I have "Trump is single-handedly saving us from the commies" friends. Both groups are absolute straight-up natural ALLIES of each other, being so vehemently against
