""China has fired a loaded gun at the American economy, seeking to cut off critical minerals used to make the semiconductors that power the American military, economy, and devices we use every day including cars, phones, computers, and TVs," Moolenaar said. "Every American will be negatively affected by China's action, and that's why we must address America's vulnerabilities and build our own leverage against China.""
"Moolenaar also emphasized steps he recommended back in September that he claimed Trump could take to "create real leverage with China" in the face of its stranglehold on rare earths. Those included "restricting or suspending Chinese airline landing rights in the US," "reviewing export control policies governing the sale of commercial aircraft, parts, and maintenance services to China," and "restricting outbound investment in China's aviation sector in coordination with key allies.""
China imposed rare-earth export controls that aim to cut off critical minerals used in semiconductors powering the U.S. military, economy, and everyday devices. The action threatens widespread negative effects across American industries and national security and prompts calls to address vulnerabilities and build leverage. Proposed legislative measures would end preferential trade treatment for China, create a resilient reserve of critical minerals, secure research and campuses from Chinese influence, and impose export controls to limit Chinese access to advanced chips. Additional recommended responses include restricting Chinese airline landing rights, reviewing aircraft export policies, and limiting outbound aviation investment with allied coordination.
