💥💥💥2025.07.23 中美贸易代表在伦敦举行会谈，讨论稀土矿协议

捍卫民主基金会经济与金融权力中心主任兼高级研究员伊莱恩·K·德津斯基 (Elaine K. Dezenski):：北京在发放稀土和其他关键矿物的出口许可证方面行动非常缓慢，这些矿物对美国国防工业基础和更广泛的工业基础至关重要，因此这对我们来说是一个非常严重的问题。欧洲人正在密切关注，他们和我们一样面临着对这些关键矿物和稀土的依赖问题，这个问题必须得到解决

我认为我们需要理解美国面临的根本挑战，那就是北京多年来一直在从事一系列非市场强制性做法。例如，我们在电池供应链中看到市场操纵、价格波动、试图控制关键矿物的价格，这些做法在全球范围内创造了一个环境，使得包括美国在内的其他国家很难在国内进行加工

💥💥💥 2025.07.23 U.S.-China trade representatives hold talks in London to discuss rare earth mineral agreements.

Elaine K. Dezenski, Senior Director and Head of the Center on Economic and Financial Power at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies: Beijing has been very slow in issuing export licenses for rare earths and other critical minerals, which are vital to the U.S. defense industrial base and the broader industrial base, making this a very serious issue for us. The Europeans are watching closely, as they face the same dependency issues on these critical minerals and rare earths as we do. This issue must be resolved.

I believe we need to understand the fundamental challenge for the U.S., which is that Beijing has been engaging in a range of non-market coercive practices for many years. For example, we see market manipulation, price volatility, and attempts to control the prices of critical minerals in the battery supply chain. These practices have created a global environment that makes it very difficult for other countries, including the U.S., to process these materials domestically.
