Rare Earth Magnets - China's Ace Card
These are powerful magnets used in US military systems and domestic products such as electric cars.
They are made from elements called "rare earths" on the periodic table.
China dominates the supply and refining of rare earths. So if China stopped exports of rare earths America would suffer very
badly indeed.
This is a major hand in China's negotiation of tariffs with Trump.
I have a few of these magnets on my refrigerator door. Getting them off is another story.
