International Strategic Layout of US Critical Minerals and Its Impact on China
The United States is accelerating the establishment of a global alliance for critical minerals and actively creating a"new order"in this sector.By securing its critical mineral supply through this alliance,the US aims to contain and pressure China.This strategy threatens China's international competitiveness in strategic emerging industries,delays China's green and digital transformation processes,and weakens China's influence in global critical minerals governance.However,the US faces challenges and uncertainties within its critical minerals alliance,including divergent strategic objectives,conflicting interests,and limited coordination capabilities.
