My bad on the wording.

To clarify: was China’s rare earth ban a pre-planned contingency for any future Western aggression. or a specific tactic designed only for Trump’s tariffs.

I'm just curious because a user on the bear site said, 'the CPC was pressured against the wall and forced to use the rare earth ban for leverage.'

 

If Trump's tariffs hadn't happened, would China have found other ways to implement the ban?
