  "account": "Beijing displayed its newfound weapons in the trade war with the United States by abruptly halting the export of rare earths and permanent magnets on April 4th, 2022. This move came after China showcased its near-monopoly on these critical raw materials which are essential for many industrial conglomerates to operate. The Chinese government has effectively used this resource as a political pressure tactic, with considerable success.\n\nThe sudden restriction in exports led to production bottlenecks not only in the United States but also in Europe. German industrial representatives in China doubt whether Beijing was fully aware of the extent of the ramifications of these export restrictions, which even affected Europe. Nonetheless, China has since openly utilized the supply of rare earths as a potent tool for exerting pressure on the United States, the European Union, and Japan.",
