Breaking China's Chokehold on America's Crucial Defense Needs

China is a big threat.

Let's hope we have learned from the lessons of the past. The US must maintain dominance in AI, fusion energy, electricity and the military.

Spot on, Mr Kadish. Thank you for another great piece on the challenges and threats from China.

Unbelievable that China currently can withhold rare earth minerals that are critical to America's national security. We need to start dealing with this before it's too late.

Yes, WW II did teach us many valuable lessons, not the least of which was that we could, almost single handedly, support and supply nearly 1/2 the world population with food, munitions, and the ships, planes and tanks to fight the war. But after the war, and about this, "Tail Gunner" Joe McCarthy was, it turns out, correct, the Communist infiltrating of academia, especially, and our entertainment media too, was a national security threat; we allowed them to coerce the outsourcing of food production, weapons, the automotive industry, oil supplies, pharmaceuticals, and other vital industries, to our ultimate detriment. Most, to whom try were outsourced are less than "friends", at best, many outright enemies. We even allowed China to purchase mineral rights to large swaths of our land in the CONUS! And of late, they were buying up farmland, interestingly close to or even adjoining vital military installations, although that, I believe, has been halted. Chinese professors were telling their classes, in the '90s, they would conquer us without firing a shot. Our leaders were not listening, any more than they listened Hitler, Tojo, or the Mullahs in Iran when they were telling us their plans. It amazes me just how willfully ignorant and arrogant our leaders continue to be, even when the evidence is smacking them in their faces! But this, too, was foretold, and has come to pass as well...

We cannot allow China to make fun of us. This has gone too far. I wonder what the Trump administration plans to do with this.

Breaking China's chokehold on our defense needs requires swift action, both on the diplomatic and military levels. Many thanks to Kadish for raising this extremely important issue.

Overcoming shortage of chain supplies should be a top priority for the US.

Awesome, thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Very important statement by the author: "The United States needs to recognize the threat and channel its considerable resources and technology talent to ensure we are never held hostage by a hostile nation holding rare earth minerals as a weapon poised at our throats."

The Pentagon is right. So is Lawrence Kadish.

It's a huge problem if we can't get hold of materials for weapons. This has become a national security issue.

The Trump administration needs to pay attention to the Chinese efforts to undermine our national security.

As usual Mr Kadish provides moral clarity and importance information.

The Chinese want dominance in AI, minerals and fusion energy. Great piece by Lawrence Kadish.

China has been, and remains, a major threat to America in many fields.

I enjoy reading your columns here. Please keep them coming. Thank you and God bless you and your family.

Since I started reading your great articles here, I have learned a lot about the Chinese threat to the US. I wish your articles were being published in mainstream media.

Splendid. Thanks for posting. Please read and share.

I totally agree with the author. We are in a situation where the US is subject to blackmail attempts by China. We need to put an end to this threat.

Another must read by Lawrence Kadish. The US is under attack and must act accordingly. We've had enough of China's games. Time for action, not words.

Well-stated Mr Kadish: " The nation that controls vital minerals has the ability to dictate world events."
Thank you for another amazing article.

Excellent piece by Lawrence Kadish. Now, we need to make sure that President Trump reads it.

Thank you for another informative and well-written article on the threat from China.

Weaponizing each minerals is a declaration of war by China. This needs to be dealt with immediately.

Hard to disagree with Kadish's brilliant piece.

Allowance China to control rare minerals is a ling threat risk for America.

We cannot allow China to hold us hostage. This is an extremely important article.

Lawrence Kadish hits the nail on the head once again. Please pay attention to the Chinese threat.

Superb, Dr Kadish. Let's hope the Trump administration takes your warning about China seriously.
