Some of the latest batch of F-35 fighter parts delivered by the United States were produced in China, which caused dissatisfaction from the US government. So the US Department of Defense found a reason to suspend delivery, and at the same time ordered the people below to immediately find a replacement for the part, and also swear that Chinese parts will never be used again. The United States is as tough as it is at this time, and the next step will be slap in the face! Not long after, the United States claimed that China's parts were very good and there was no safety risk. This inevitably makes people wonder. Why did the US government change its words in such a short time because it has refused to accept these F-35 fighter jets so strongly? All is because we cannot do without our country’s ace!
As we all know, there is a game between China and the United States and even the world, and the protagonist of the game is rare earth . Now, after 30 years of hard research, China has finally become a trump card country that masters the global rare earth industry and has completed a great counterattack! You should know that no matter whether it is the TV screen in life, the computer hard drive, or the aircraft with military equipment, or the tanks, all of them are inseparable from rare earths. Without rare earths, these things cannot be developed. It can be said that rare earths are industrial gold. If you lose rare earths, you will lose an electronic society. As a non-renewable resource, the importance of rare earths can be imagined!
The United States' attitude has changed dramatically this time, not because the United States also knows very well what price it will pay if it is too willful. Let’s talk about parts reinstallation. There are more than 800 F-35 fighter jets delivered. If all so many aircraft are returned to the factory and reinstalled, how much manpower and material resources will be consumed? In addition, the United States is now causing trouble, and it is time to use fighter jets. If it returns to the factory and reinstalls at this time, the US military's combat plans will be disrupted. The most important thing is that the United States is also a world superpower after all, because a small part is fighting like this, which will only leave the whole world with the impression that the United States is petty!
More importantly, the US fighter jets have more than one component from China, but many others are also made in China. The manufacturing process of US fighter jets is inseparable from China's rare earths. If the US does not know how to do anything, then even the core weapons and equipment of the United States will be rebuilt! Even if you want to find a replacement, it is not that easy, and the time period of the replacement is difficult to determine. Therefore, the United States is completely asking for trouble for itself when doing this. Perhaps the United States itself realized it and wanted to find a way out for itself. However, from this incident, it is not difficult to see that the United States has always said that the good are bad and the black ones are white. Although the United States frequently imposes sanctions on China, it is an indisputable fact that the United States cannot do without Chinese products. This ace is destined to be unable to decouple from China! (Leaf)
