China has won the trade war. The USD exceptional privilege is about to expire. There are few options remaining but to try to keep the boat afloat a little longer. Man the life rafts. Buy gold or bitcoin.

USA cannot fight a sustained war of any magnitude without secure supply of rare earths and it does not have that for a decade at least.

The Empire is on its knees...begging for rare earths supply for another 6 - 12 months but that supply now granted explicitly excludes any supply destined to go toward military purposes. China will achieve 3 nm microchips within 6 - 12 months. Game over Uncle Sam.
