德媒：欧洲的忍耐已到极限，不卖稀土，就是逼欧盟实施制裁

Group 1 - The escalation of US-China trade tensions has led to China's comprehensive control over rare earth exports, catching the Trump administration off guard and shaking the global supply chain [1] - European countries are increasingly anxious as the rare earth controls are set to take effect, particularly in the automotive industry, where major manufacturers warn of potential production halts within two months if the controls are implemented [3] - The EU believes that China's rare earth controls lack reasonable justification and pose a destructive threat to the global supply chain [3] Group 2 - Internal divisions have emerged within the EU regarding the response to China's actions, with Germany threatening to invoke the "Anti-Coercion Instrument," which some in Europe refer to as the "nuclear weapon of trade wars" [4] - China has stated that threats and pressure are not solutions to the problem, emphasizing that its rare earth controls are conducted in accordance with laws and regulations to ensure sustainable resource use and national security [4] - The EU's panic is not unfounded, as Western countries have relied on globalization for the past thirty years, outsourcing high-pollution, low-profit rare earth mining and refining to China while keeping high-value-added industry segments for themselves [6] Group 3 - The EU has repeatedly provoked China in its stance, as evidenced by sanctions against Chinese companies for allegedly assisting Russia in evading Western technology restrictions, which China firmly opposes [6] - China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has clarified that China is neither the creator of the Ukraine crisis nor a party to it, and it will respond resolutely to any form of coercion [6] - The EU's actions appear to be a strategy to test China's limits and gain leverage in rare earth negotiations [6]
