Core Viewpoint - China's recent strengthening of export controls on rare earths highlights its significant position in the global market for these materials, a status that dates back to the Republic of China era when it accounted for over 90% of global production [1]. Historical Context - During the Republic of China, the main production areas for rare earths were in Jiangxi and Guangxi, with Jiangxi's primary production zone located in the Gan Nan region, which was part of the central Soviet area at the time [3]. - China was limited in its exportable products, primarily exporting tungsten ore, rare earths, pig bristles, and tung oil, controlling over 90% of tungsten ore exports, making it a key supplier for countries seeking these resources between World War I and World War II [3]. - Germany was a significant partner for the Nationalist government, seeking to collaborate on military equipment production due to restrictions imposed on its domestic production after World War I [3]. Economic and Military Cooperation - The collaboration between Germany and the Nationalist government included a comprehensive industrial plan to establish numerous factories in southern China, aiming to transform Hunan into an industrial hub akin to Bavaria [5]. - This cooperation was contingent on China's stable supply of tungsten, leading to close economic and military ties, including military advisory roles and the establishment of German-trained military units [5]. - The Central Soviet area controlled the main tungsten production zones but lacked external cooperation opportunities and smelting capabilities, leading to clandestine exports through Guangdong [5][7]. Impact of Historical Events - The Nationalist government's control over the Gan Nan region allowed for stable tungsten exports, which were crucial for financing during the war [7]. - The outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War disrupted planned industrial exports from Germany to China, significantly impacting the Nationalist government's resources [7]. - High-ranking officials and military leaders from the Nationalist government had positive impressions of Germany, contrasting with their later experiences with American demands during the war [9].

专家认为，新的"供应链战争"可能即将爆发。那么，中国对此将如何应对呢？ 稀土作为一种重要材料，一直是全球关注的焦点。几十年来，中国一直保持着开放的态度，允许其他国家低价购买。然而，这种合作并没有带来预期的良性 效果，反而导致了市场矛盾和资源的流失。为了改变这一局面，中国近期发布了一项稀土等资源的管制政策，明确对资源出口进行规范，并为相关设备和技 术的使用设定了审核流程。这个政策的初衷是规范市场，避免不必要的损失，而并非"垄断资源"。 然而，对于美国等国家来说，这种举措却被视为"威胁"。稀土在军事和高科技领域的重要性不言而喻，无论是导弹还是精密的导航设备，都需要稀土材料。 如果缺少这些，中国在全球供应链中的地位就变得尤为关键，这让美国感到焦虑。 本月12号，美国政府在"停摆"状态中突然宣布，将启动10亿美元资金采购关键矿产，这一决定明显是针对中国的反应。 事实上，美国并不缺乏稀土资源，只是因为"霸主"心态，他们不愿意投入资金开发本土资源，而是将成本转嫁给其他国家。这种思维方式最终让他们陷入了 进退两难的境地，正所谓"自作自受"。 无论如何，美国的这一举动标志着新一轮的"供应链挑战"即将到来。中国会如何应对这一挑 ...
