Reports say the U.S. will initiate a critical mineral reserve plan; China responds

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian hosted a regular press conference. A reporter asked that the United States is expected to launch a critical mineral reserve plan with an initial funding of $12 billion. This move comes as Washington seeks to reduce dependence on resources like rare earths from China. What is China’s comment on this? “China’s position on maintaining the stability and security of the global critical mineral supply chain remains unchanged. All parties have a responsibility to play a constructive role,” Lin Jian said. (Beijing Daily)
