AMERICA IS LOSING ITS WAR WITH CHINA. The political stunt you’re being sold as “patriotism” is a DISASTER for American workers and a GIFT to Beijing.
That official White House photo of Trump and Xi masks a brutal truth: our decoupling strategy is BACKFIRING. While Washington chest-thumps, American industry is being bled dry. China just proved it with a single, devastating move.
Last October, Beijing quietly weaponized the global economy. A new rule demands government approval for exporting ANYTHING containing more than 0.1% rare earths. These metals are the lifeblood of our defense systems, your iPhone, and green energy. This wasn’t a noisy embargo—it was a silent chokehold. Defense projects are NOW stalled. Clean energy costs are SKYROCKETING.
Who pays? YOU DO. The tariffs meant to “punish China” have hammered U.S. consumers and crippled the factories they were supposed to protect. Midwestern farmers are LOCKED OUT of their markets. Southern manufacturers are drowning in higher costs. The promise of “Made in America” jobs is a MYTH.
And China? They’re LAUGHING. While our politicians sell you fantasies of independence, Beijing is cutting massive deals across Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. They are embedding themselves DEEPER into the world’s supply chains, especially in the future industries we wanted to dominate.
We’re told this pain is for “long-term security.” That’s a LIE. This is short-term political theater with long-term economic ruin. Our allies are nervous. Global markets are shaky. The entire foundation of the world economy is fracturing.
American families are footing the bill for a failed strategy that only makes China stronger.
The final analysis comes from a doctor-turned-analyst half a world away, who sees the patient is bleeding out: our sovereignty is being sold for applause lines.
