The question facing the USA is how successful this exercise will be when rare earth and tungsten, essential raw materials for weapons are all controlled by China. China is not going to allow companies buying its rare earth and tungsten to be used for making weapons that are primarily intended to be used against China. Only a fool will allow that to happen. The moment companies using rare earth and tungsten enters the weapons production sector, China will add them to the list of companies to be denied its rare earth and tungsten supplies. That means the end of their normal business model. The USA Government is not one that will not change its stance, not even with legally binding agreements with sovereign countries.
Of course, the USA can overcome this by building its own rare earth and tungsten refining facilities, but the timeline is not years but decades. By that time, China will not be the same China as today. The USA clowns under Trump can overcome this by using Lego Bricks, lol.
So, try rattling China all they want, but China will be waiting for that to happen and cut off those private companies thinking of jumping on the weapon production wagon. The cost to them could be massive.

Did anyone notice something very weird at the banquet given by Xi. When Xi stood up to drink a toast to his guests, Trump, on Xi's right stood up raising his cup, thinking that Xi was going to face him, but no, Xi just faced forward towards the other guests with Trump holding his glass looking like a lost soul. That, in my eyes, was a massive deliberate insult to Trump. No two ways about it.
How are the anti-China watchers in the USA going to interpret that will be interesting. Do watch the video, if it is still not deleted.
Some people are asking why the Taiwan issue wasn't on the table. Guys, Taiwan is on the menu if you read between the lines, lol.
Trump and Xi now best of friends. Hope this is the case when Trump steps down from Airforce One. But I am too optimistic to believe in the fairy tale.
When Trump alights from Airforce One, the hawks will be waiting to extract their pound of flesh from Trump for not following orders. Anyway, Trump will still claim victory without a doubt, gloating about China buying 100 Boeing jets. Nothing concrete though, just talk about buying just buying like soya beans. China just let him have something to boast about when he gets home, after all the song and dance about his China trip.
