How America can fast-track critical metals production—and disrupt the leverage that China just used...
Critical minerals are finally getting the attention they deserve. This year, rare earth elements have dominated headlines, whether because of geopolitical tensions in Greenland and Ukraine or escalating trade disputes with China. They loomed large in U.S.-China trade talks this week, allowing China to drive a hard bargain.
The 17 rare earth elements (REEs) are indispensable. They exhibit unique electromagnetic properties that make numerous technologies function—think smartphones, electric vehicles, artificial intelligence, humanoid robotics, advanced defense systems, and more.
The Trump administration seems to understand this. Recent actions by President Donald Trump—including his executive order “Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production” and his use of Section 232—have made clear America’s interest in rare earths. Indeed, long before this administration, bipartisan recognition of these minerals’ strategic value already existed, for national security and a vast array of advanced technologies.
China dominates in rare earth elements-
As has been widely reported, China currently controls around 90% of global REE production. Its dominance is so strong that even some Western companies must send their rare earth materials to China for processing. Now, with Beijing imposing export controls on key elements and rare earths having been a central focus during this week’s U.S.-China trade talks, the challenge has been further amplified for America.
China’s grip is the result of decades of long-term investment, aggressive policy, and an economic playbook designed to corner the market. Processing rare earths is also notoriously dirty, which is something China has historically been less concerned about.
A 4-point fast-track program-
If the U.S. is serious about building a resilient, domestic REE supply chain, it must act with urgency. Here’s how we can do it, and do it fast:
Inject capital at scale-
The U.S. must follow China’s lead by strategically funding and investing in rare earth producers and infrastructure. Rare earth development, particularly refining, requires significant capital, unless the asset is already advanced and leverages existing infrastructure. That is rarely the case in the U.S., and while both private and public companies are raising funds, significant federal support is essential to compete with China at scale. America’s late start means we must move faster and spend smarter. We can’t afford to wait.
Establish price stability-
Once U.S. producers are operational, price volatility becomes the next major hurdle. China can manipulate the global market by flooding it with underpriced material, undermining U.S. startups before they can gain traction. A temporary pricing floor or purchase guarantee for U.S.-sourced rare earths would help stabilize the market and protect domestic growth. The U.S. has implemented similar pricing strategies to support other foundational industries, including oil and agriculture. America’s emerging rare earth industry is critical and could benefit from these types of pricing initiatives.
Streamline permitting-
While the U.S. rightly values environmental protection and community impact, permitting delays are hampering progress. Responsible, low-impact projects are waiting in line, when they should be fast-tracked. We must retain environmental oversight but remove unnecessary bureaucratic barriers that stifle innovation and increase costs. China has little to no concern with environmental protection in regard to REEs, so removing these roadblocks in the short term will not only allow U.S. companies to get set up to compete, but will also be better for the environment in the long term, all while delivering significant value for American stakeholders.
Create a centralized refining hub-
The rare earth bottleneck isn’t mining—it’s refining. Processing capacity outside China is severely limited. The U.S. needs a centralized, government-backed refinery that serves multiple companies, enabling cost-effective and collaborative scaling. This shared facility would accelerate production, reduce risk, and mark a crucial step toward independence from China’s stranglehold. I believe this effort is the best path forward for Americans to unite and build the industrial infrastructure required to combat the big bully in the rare earth space.
The power of a public-private partnership-
With government support and private-sector innovation, we can build a fully integrated rare earth supply chain. Doing so would neutralize one of China’s most powerful economic weapons and create a strategic advantage for the U.S. in critical industries. It’s also a smart investment in America’s long-term manufacturing future.
This isn’t just about minerals. It’s about national security, technological leadership, and economic resilience. The time to act and join forces is now.

China can shrug off U.S. tech controls, thanks to open-source design and chip packaging techniques, says Huawei’s founder.
Huawei, the Chinese tech giant, has borne the brunt of U.S. restrictions since 2019, when Washington barred it from acquiring advanced components. Export controls passed in 2022 further constrained Huawei’s ability to get advanced chips.
But despite U.S. pressure, Huawei is returning to the forefront of China’s tech sector, with new successes in smartphones, AI processors, and EVs. Observers, in and out of China, see Huawei as proof that the country can succeed even if cut off from advanced technologies produced in the West.
Yet Huawei’s founder is cautioning against reading too much into the tech giant’s progress. Ren Zhengfei, in a Tuesday interview with People’s Daily, the Chinese Communist Party’s official newspaper, said that the U.S. was overstating Huawei’s successes. He suggested the company’s chips were still a generation behind those of the U.S.
“Huawei is not that great. We have to work hard to reach [the U.S.’s] evaluation,” he said.
Nevertheless, Ren batted away concerns that U.S. export controls will constrain the growth of both Huawei and the Chinese tech sector.
The Biden administration argued that chip export control measures would slow China’s tech development and maintain the U.S.’s edge in industries like AI. U.S. rules now bar Chinese companies from buying the most advanced chips, as well as the equipment and software needed to design and manufacture them.
Yet Ren countered that chip packaging and stacking techniques could help Chinese semiconductor firms keep up with the most advanced chips. (Stacking involves bundling multiple chips into a package to get higher performance.)
Ren also argued that an increasingly open-source environment will benefit the country in the future.
Chinese tech companies are reportedly embracing RISC-V, an open-source platform that can be used for chip design.
Several of China’s leading tech companies, like e-commerce giant Alibaba and startup DeepSeek, have also made their AI open-source, allowing other developers to download, run, and tweak the models themselves. That has encouraged more widespread adoption, including outside China.
Export controls to the fore
Ren’s comments come as export controls start to dominate U.S.-China trade conversations.
Trade officials from both countries are meeting in London for a second day of trade talks. The U.S. has accused China of slow-rolling its shipments of rare earths, critical minerals used in an array of sophisticated products, including smartphones and cars.
China holds a dominant position in the production of rare earths. Beijing restricted exports of these metals in April, requiring companies to apply for a license to export rare earths out of the country. These regulations are snarling supply chains for some manufacturers, particularly in the auto industry.
It’s an odd reversal of positions for the U.S., which increasingly uses export controls to leverage its edge in strategic technologies. Chinese officials have long complained about U.S. tech export restrictions, arguing–among other things–that they undermine globalization and threaten China’s development.
U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is taking part in the London talks, which could be an indication that some U.S. restrictions could be up for negotiation.

5 ways Ukraine's audacious 'Spiderweb' drone attack marks a new threat for top militaries.
Ukraine's latest attack on Russian airfields has written a new chapter for drone tactics.
Operatives snuck the drones into Russia and remotely launched them near bases, Ukraine said.
These tactics highlight vulnerabilities for the world's most advanced militaries.
The new tactics deployed by Ukraine in striking a reported 41 Russian warplanes have devastating implications — not only for Russia's air power but for all advanced militaries, defense experts told Business Insider.
"This attack is a window to future war," said James Patton Rogers, a drone expert who's the executive director of the Cornell Brooks Tech Policy Institute.
Ukraine has attacked Russia with drones many times before. But on Sunday, its Security Service, or SBU, targeted four Russian airfields simultaneously with a wildly creative gambit it dubbed "Operation Spiderweb."
The SBU said operatives smuggled the military quadcopters into Russia, later packing them into wooden house-like structures. These were then mounted on trucks, which were driven close to the airfields, where the drones were launched, causing a reported $7 billion in damage. The proximity and number of small attack drones appear to have given air defense crews little, if any, chance to respond.
While details of the attack need to be independently confirmed, initial visual information suggests that this is "a stunning success for Ukraine's special services," said Justin Bronk, an influential air power expert at the Royal United Services Institute.
Here's what it could mean for Russia and the Ukraine war — and the rest of the world.
Limiting conventional air defences
Ukraine's previous drone attacks have frequently been countered by Russia's advanced air defense systems, such as its S-300 and S-400 missile launchers. But, it seems, these latest drones didn't need to run the S-400 gauntlet.
The SBU said that rather than flying larger, long-range drones through Russian airspace from Ukraine, it trucked the containers out to the airfields, activating the smuggled drones after remotely retracting the roofs to release them.
With a much-shortened and simplified journey to their target, the drones struck warplanes at the airfields of Belaya, Diaghilev, Olenya, and Ivanovo, the SBU said.
A powerful statement of Ukraine going it alone
Lithuania's former foreign minister Gabrielius Landsbergis said on Monday that the attack showed Ukraine's ability to innovate and surprise the world.
"Its scale and ingenuity — carried out without visible Western intelligence or logistical support — suggests Ukraine is now less reliant on outside help," he wrote.
(Ukraine's Western backers, such as the US, have resisted providing the weaponry and intelligence Ukraine has sought for retaliation against Russian bases, from which it launches regular attacks on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure and defensive lines.)
Powered largely by domestically produced armaments, Ukraine once again innovated "while the world talks, hosts meetings, and forms yet another 'coalition of the willing,'" Landsbergis wrote.
"Ukraine is preparing to fight on its own terms," he added. "If you ever wondered what strategic autonomy looks like — this might be it."
Ukraine showed that a fleet of $150 million bombers on a runway can be made prey to the kind of cheap drones modified slightly from racing and wedding photos.
It enables Ukraine to hit deeper into Russia
Prior to these coordinated strikes, Ukraine's drone attacks on Russia have reached as far as 1,100 miles from their shared border.
That distance is dwarfed by the reach of Sunday's attack, where the farthest airfield, at Belaya in the eastern-central Irkutsk region, was more than 2,500 miles from Ukraine.
Russia most likely viewed bases far from Ukraine as being at less risk of attack.
Bronk said that even if only half of the reported 41 planes were damaged or destroyed, it would have a "significant impact" on Russia's ability to launch long-range cruise missile attacks on Ukraine's civilian infrastructure.
Bronk estimates that Russia had about 60 active Tu-95 "Bear" bombers and about 20 Tu-160 "Blackjack" bombers involved in this aerial campaign, and he said replacing damaged planes would be a huge challenge, as production on both models has either slowed or halted completely in recent decades.
No hard shelter for planes
Videos and images from the attack show that the planes were parked in the open air, outside any shelter. This may have made them an easy target.
Satellite images have suggested that this is a point of some anxiety for Russia, which appears to have tried to pile tires onto the wings of its bombers to try to trick visual guidance systems. An aircraft on the ground is highly vulnerable to attack and is wholly dependent on airborne aircraft and nearby air defenses.
Russia isn't the only country with this issue.
While China is reported to have enough hardened air shelters to house the majority of its combat aircraft, the US has invested far less in this capability.
'Sleeper' drones
Ukraine didn't detail how it successfully smuggled the drones past Russian authorities. But the fact that it did so "highlights the vulnerability of Russian transport and logistics system," Patton Rogers said.
"The question for Russia must be, how many more are lying in wait?" he said.
At the same time, Russia has shown itself quick to learn throughout the war, which could worry the West.
The attack is a "stark reminder" of a new phase in war, Karl Rosander, the CEO and cofounder of the Swedish defence tech startup Nordic Air Defence, said in emailed comments. "One where drones can be covertly deployed and lie dormant behind enemy lines, waiting to strike."
It's "only a matter of time" before the tactic is taken up by Russia and other hostile state actors, he added.
The implications of this are wide-ranging. An air base needs a combination of armored shelters for aircraft, electronic jammers to disrupt drone guidance systems, and enough missiles or guns to shoot them down.
All are costs measured in billions of dollars — and Ukraine has just devised a new threat costing in the mere thousands.
Patton Rogers questioned how vulnerable NATO air bases are to such attacks, while pointing out how the tactic could be adopted elsewhere.
"Drones won't be confined to a set battlefield," he said.
While long-range drones will continue to strike, weaponized short-range drones will be "hidden and waiting for launch" to attack deep inside adversary territory, he said, adding: "The question is, are NATO allies ready for this new reality?"

A new methane-powered rocket developed by China's LandSpace Technology launched six satellites into orbit on Saturday, as the private startup doubles down on a cheap, cleaner fuel that it hopes will help it develop reusable rockets.
The Zhuque-2E Y2 carrier rocket blasted off at 12:12 p.m. (0412 GMT) from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China, marking the fifth flight for the Zhuque-2 series, according to a company statement.
Beijing-based LandSpace became the world's first company to launch a methane-liquid oxygen rocket in July 2023, ahead of U.S. rivals including Elon Musk's SpaceX and Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin.
Interest has grown in recent years in launching carrier vehicles fuelled by methane, which is deemed less polluting, safer and cheaper than more commonly used hydrocarbon fuels, and a suitable propellant in a reusable rocket.

Chinese President Xi Jinping used a visit to Shanghai on Tuesday to push for breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and underscore China’s leading role in the "Global South".
Although Xi did not reference the trade war started by U.S. President Donald Trump during his visit, the implicit message was clear: China can develop its own leading technology and has alternative markets.
"It's a show of strength," said Alfred Wu, a China expert at National University of Singapore.
Xi's Shanghai trip, his first to China's main international financial hub since November 2023, comes at a time when the tariff fight with the U.S. has raised the stakes for global economic growth, and as Beijing pursues AI development in the wake of the global success of Chinese AI startup DeepSeek.
Shanghai to accelerate efforts to turn itself into a technological and innovation hub with global influence and strive to be at the forefront of artificial intelligence (AI) development and governance.

Fortune 500 companies have unwittingly hired thousands of software engineers who claim to be American developers but are actually North Korean citizens using stolen or fake identities. Through legitimate employment, the IT workers are illegally funneling their salaries to Kim Jong Un’s regime to fund prohibited weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs. The U.S. Treasury, State Department, and FBI collectively estimate the IT workers scam has generated hundreds of millions each year since 2018.
About 95% of the résumés Harrison Leggio gets in response to job postings for his crypto startup g8keep are from North Korean engineers pretending to be American, the founder estimates. He even once interviewed a job seeker who claimed to have worked at the same Manhattan-based cryptocurrency exchange as he did, during the time he worked there.

Indians, Piyush Goyal is 100% correct.
India's commerce minister said his country's startups needed to emulate China by focusing on high-end tech and not quick grocery deliveries or fancy ice cream - harsh criticism that had entrepreneurs quickly pointing out the government's shortcomings.
Piyush Goyal told a startup event in New Delhi late on Thursday that too many were offering food delivery so that "the rich can get their meals without moving out of their house" and were "turning unemployed youth into cheap labour."
"Are we going to be happy being delivery boys and girls? (Making) fancy ice cream and cookies ... is that the destiny of India?" he said, showing a slide titled "India vs. China. The Startup Reality Check".
"What do the Chinese startups do? Work on developing electric mobility, battery technology ... look at what the other side is doing - robotics, automation, machine learning, preparing themselves for 3D manufacturing," Goyal said.

Chinese artificial intelligence startup Zhipu AI unveiled a free AI agent on Monday, joining a wave of similar launches in China's increasingly competitive AI market.
The product, called AutoGLM Rumination, can perform deep research as well as tasks including web searches, travel planning, and research report writing, CEO Zhang Peng said at a lunch event in Beijing.
The agent is powered by Zhipu's proprietary models, including its reasoning model GLM-Z1-Air and foundation model GLM-4-Air-0414. The company claims GLM-Z1-Air matches rival DeepSeek's R1 in performance while running up to eight times faster and requiring only one-thirtieth of the computing resources.
AI agents are systems designed to make decisions and execute a range of tasks autonomously.
The launch follows a surge in Chinese AI product releases after DeepSeek shook the industry earlier this year with a model that it said operated at substantially lower costs than U.S. rivals.

China has narrowed the AI development gap with the United States to just three months in some areas, because firms such as DeepSeek have worked out how to use chips and apply algorithms more efficiently, the CEO of Chinese startup 01.AI Lee Kai-fu said.
Lee, a prominent figure in the global artificial intelligence space and a former head of Google China, told Reuters that startup DeepSeek revealed that China had pulled ahead in areas such as infrastructure software engineering
DeepSeek shook the global AI industry when it launched an AI reasoning model in January that it said was trained with less advanced chips and was cheaper to develop than its Western rivals. The announcement challenged the assumption that U.S. sanctions were holding back China's AI sector.
"Previously I think it was a six to nine month gap and behind in everything. And now I think that's probably three months behind in some of the core technologies, but actually ahead in some specific areas," Lee said

Chinese artificial intelligence startup Manus on Thursday registered its China-facing AI assistant and was featured for the first time in a state media broadcast, highlighting Beijing's strategy of boosting domestic AI firms that have received overseas recognition.
Since China's DeepSeek shocked Silicon Valley by releasing AI models comparable to its U.S. competitors but developed at a fraction of the cost, Chinese investors have been on the lookout for the next domestic startup with the potential to upend the global tech order.
Some have pointed to Manus. The company went viral on X a few weeks ago by releasing what it claimed to be the world's first general AI agent, capable of making decisions and executing tasks autonomously, with much less prompting required compared to AI chatbots like ChatGPT and DeepSeek.
Beijing is now showing signs that it will support Manus' rollout within China, echoing its response to DeepSeek's success. State broadcaster CCTV on Thursday.

Chinese smartphone maker Honor will spend $10 billion over the next five years on developing AI for its devices as the former Huawei unit prepares for a public listing, its CEO James Li said on Sunday.
The Shenzhen-based company aims to expand from being primarily a smartphone company and develop a system of AI-powered PCs, tablets and wearables, Li said in a speech at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) trade show in Barcelona.
In December, Honor said it had completed a shareholder restructuring that moved it closer to an initial public offering, though no timeline has been announced.
Honor's announcement comes amid a boom in Chinese AI investment spurred by interest in startup DeepSeek's low-price large language models, with interested parties from local governments to home appliance makers rushing to integrate DeepSeek's technology or do more AI research.
Last year Honor slipped from second to fourth place in terms of China phone shipments, with a 14.9% market share, amid renewed competition from its former parent, Huawei, and strong growth from Vivo, according to consultancy IDC.

DeepSeek's AI Would Like to Assure You That China Is Not Committing Any Human Rights Abuses Whatsoever Against Its Repressed Uyghur Population.
China's DeepSeek, which threw Silicon Valley into chaos this week, makes no qualms about sending all of your sensitive data straight to the Chinese government.
It's also no secret that the hedge fund-owned startup is closely abiding by the country's extreme censorship rules. The company's AI chatbot is consistently distorting reality —
Users have already found that DeepSeek's app sloppily abides by these rules by replacing text with a generic error message, for instance refusing to explain what happened during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests.
AI is also loathe to engage with any talk of atrocities and human rights violations against its Uyghur people. China has long been credibly accused of detaining more than one million members of the ethnic group in state-run "re-education camps," while sentencing hundreds of thousands to prison t

Chinese state-linked social media accounts amplified narratives celebrating the launch of Chinese startup DeepSeek's AI models last week, days before the news tanked U.S. tech stocks, according to online analysis firm Graphika.
The accounts involved in the effort, including those of Chinese diplomats, embassies and state media, amplified media coverage of the launch and promoted the idea that DeepSeek challenged U.S. dominance in the AI sector, New York-based Graphika said.
The messaging was rolled out on platforms such as Elon Musk's X and Meta (META) Platforms' Facebook and Instagram, as well as Chinese services Toutiao and Weibo, Graphika said.
"This activity shows how China is able to quickly mobilize a range of actors that seed and amplify online narratives casting Beijing as surpassing the U.S. in critical areas of geopolitical competition, including the race to develop and deploy the most advanced AI technologies," Graphika Chief Intelligence Officer Jack Stubbs told Reuter

How DeepSeek’s millennial cofounder went from lowkey math geek to one of tech’s hottest players.
Up until last week, Liang Wenfeng was a relatively unknown figure. The 40-year-old founder of the Chinese AI startup DeepSeek had kept a low profile, just one of many passionate quantitative minds in tech. Now, he has burst onto the global stage, with Silicon Valley heavyweights like Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and OpenAI investor Joshua Kushner eagerly.....
Liang’s DeepSeek breakthrough has propelled him to the forefront of China’s AI industry, challenging the narrative that the country lags behind U.S. tech giants.
Math-minded entrepreneurship-
Raised on the southern coast of China in Zhanjiang, Liang was a straight-A student with an aptitude for math.
Curiosity rather than cash-
Despite Liang’s meteoric rise, colleagues say he isn’t motivated by wealth or fame.

Xiaodi Hou, the co-founder and former CEO of self-driving trucking startup TuSimple, has urged a California district court to issue a temporary restraining order to stop the company from transferring its remaining U.S. assets to China, according to a recent court filing.
Hou, who plans to apply for a temporary restraining order in December during the next scheduled court hearing, is hoping to keep TuSimple from moving tens of millions of dollars in cash to China.
Hou’s declaration to the court, is the latest escalation in the battle between TuSimple and some of its shareholders, over the company’s attempts to use investor capital.
Hou -- who was ousted from his role as CEO in 2022 -- has publicly accused TuSimple and its leaders of funneling assets toward animation and gaming businesses owned by or with direct ties to Mo Chen, TuSimple co-founder and chairman of the board, under the guise of a business pivot.

China EV startup Xpeng wants to bring ‘the best technology’ to Europe as the EU is set to finalize new tariffs on auto imports.
European Union is expected to vote to finalize new tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles, after European officials accused Chinese EV companies of benefiting from an unfair level of state support.
Yet the CEO of one of China’s leading EV startups argues that the industry’s success is due to intense local competition, not state support. “There were rumored to be close to 500 [Chinese] EV startups, probably seven to eight years ago. Now, [we’re] left with less than 10% of those names still in business,” Brian Gu, co-president at Chinese EV startup Xpeng
Chinese domestic competition created a “highly efficient” and “highly innovative” industry, Gu claimed, that’s now thriving in global markets
As developed markets in Europe and North America consider new tariffs and controls on Chinese-made EVs, Gu said Xpeng wanted a fair level playing field for it

A defense startup says it can fix America's ammo problem with China using a new low-cost cruise missile
Anduril says its new cruise missile, the Barracuda, can be produced en masse and cheaply.
Three variants have been revealed so far: the Barracuda-100, the Barracuda-250, and the Barracuda-500.
The missile family starts with the Barracuda-100, which can carry a payload of 35 pounds at a maximum range of 85 nautical miles when air-launched, and caps off with the Barracuda-500, which carries a payload of 100 pounds with a range of 500 nautical miles.
The startup described the guided munition as "50% less time to produce, 95% fewer tools, 50% fewer parts — at a fraction of the cost,"
"This is not designed to go specifically and rigidly at one specific problem," Anduril's chief strategy officer, "We have designed Barracuda to be able to range across a series of targets — from ground-based targets to maritime targets to others."
