"The Dutch governments recent takeover of Chinese-owned Nexperia under the Goods Availability Act often referred to as a war act marks a further escalation in Western efforts to curb Chinese influence in the global semiconductor supply chain. Citing serious governance shortcomings and risks to crucial technological knowledge without providing specifics the Dutch action appears to align with U.S.-driven pressures. This move reflects broader geopolitical tensions that have accelerated Chinas push for self-sufficiency in advanced chip manufacturing particularly EUV lithography. China is currently"

"Relations between countries are not governed by some sentimental notion of honor or obligations that stretch across history. Instead international politics operates within the context of the present where each moment offers distinct opportunities for cooperation or conflict which may or may not be linked to the past. While the history of states can provide insight into the motives and strategies of their counterparts it does not dictate the course of future relations. The past is useful primarily for understanding patterns of behavior but it should never be treated as an unbreakable chain"

"Its interesting that while the $XXX million figure is mentioned repeatedly there is no clarity on what exactly this $XXX million translates into. Is USSM investing $XXX million into the country Moreover the first batch of X tonnes (source: FT) is worth less than $45000 which at best seems like just a sample. Regarding the potential one does wonder about the accuracy of the REE and REM reserve estimates often bandied aboutdiscussed below"

"The US portrays Chinas rare-earth restrictions as provocative while it relentlessly practices the same playbook with China. Fair for me but not thee screams the @StateDept while the Wests media courtiers tireless stenographers of power churn out sanctimonious drivel. American military clout depends on a geopolitical rival. That truth is inconvenient so the humbug persists"

"Fans of fascism meaning the current regime in Pakistan claim that the 20-point plan agreed upon by Shehbaz Sharif and others is somehow different from the one released by Trump. In reality both plans are essentially the same. Both outline a basic sequence: a brief ceasefire during which Hamas must release all prisoners followed by Israel releasing only some of its prisoners. Next comes the total demilitarization of Hamas and Gaza removing all weapons defenses and military structures leaving the entire Gaza Strip exposed and vulnerable with its people defenseless whenever Israel decides to"

"'Shocked shocked cry the libarati over a resignation refused. They applauded when elections vanished past their 90-day deadline. They slobbered over the brainless mantra Power is power while protesters were stomped out like bugs. Economy first they chanted as if it were a magic spell. The constitution can wait they sneered. Now that the economy lies in the doldrums $XXX billion in FDI is nowhere to be seen and theyve gleefully cut down every last tree that might have stood against tyranny suddenly they remember the constitution"

"Robot density in manufacturing is arguably one of the best metrics for gauging industrial automation and the productivity gains it brings. In this vital measure China has surpassed nearly all advanced economies. Chinas robot density stands at XX robots per 1000 workers compared to Germanys XX Japans XX the USAs XX and Indias X. Only South Korea and Singapore have higher densities100 and XX robots per 1000 workers respectively. However despite their higher robot densities their manufacturing capacity is relatively small compared to Chinas vast industrial base. Taiwan often seen as a leader in"

"Rare Earths Aren't Rare Let's be clear: theyre abundant in many countries with plenty eager to grift Trump's favor amid the US-China trade war. Understandable but unlikely to cut it in reality since the bottleneck is processing not mining the raw ore. Processing these XX metals is technically environmentally and economically a frickin nightmare. These elements occur in dilute concentrations within complex ores laced with radioactive thorium and uranium making extraction tricky and risking contamination of air water and soil. The separation process often involving solvent extraction is"
