A senior executive from a rare earth company just dropped some real talk: America desperately needs a cohesive strategy to secure its critical mineral supply chains. Not just piecemeal efforts—we're talking about an integrated, top-to-bottom approach. This isn't just about mining; it's about national security, tech infrastructure, and staying competitive in the global resource game. The clock's ticking.

Stop kidding yourself. The U.S. supply chain game should have ended long ago, and you're only realizing it now? China is already halfway ahead.

To be honest, this issue should have been taken seriously a long time ago. The US is still acting independently. Why didn't they think of this earlier when rare earths were a bottleneck?

To put it simply, the U.S. is panicking right now; it's really tough not having any say when it comes to rare earths.

To put it simply, the US was too disorganized before, and now they’re just realizing it—it’s a bit late.

To be honest, rare earths are a big pit right now. If the US really wants to get things done, they need to take real action; otherwise, if they keep acting in such a scattered and uncoordinated way, there’s no hope.

To be honest, the US really needs to take action now. If they keep dragging their feet, there won't be any chance left.

To put it bluntly, the United States is currently acting in its own interests, and it's long overdue for a serious overhaul.

According to research, the fragmentation of the U.S. rare earth supply chain does have structural flaws, but this report overlooks a key data point—the fact that China currently controls 85% of the world’s rare earth processing capacity, so purely strategic integration has limited effectiveness. From a technical perspective, it is worth noting the mismatch between the mining cycle and the timeframe of geopolitical competition, which is the real bottleneck.

To put it simply, the U.S. is now being choked and needs to quickly come up with an overall solution.
