China Tightens Its Grip: Rare Earth Controls Shake Global Electronics
Beijing Just Took Control — And Everyone Else Is Waiting for Permission

China has introduced strict export controls on rare earth elements — the critical materials behind smartphones, missiles, satellites, medical devices, and modern infrastructure.
From now on,
any country, company, or factory using rare

elements, and it's heading to the U.S. or military sectors abroad — it gets blocked.
U.S. in Panic Mode: Without China, Supply Chains Collapse
The U.S. has
already called this move "a strike on the global system."
And it's no surprise:

Power shift in the sky
Media claim that Russia is increasing aircraft deliveries to Iran. An Antonov An-124 Ruslan was spotted on radar, flying from Irkutsk into Iranian airspace. Analysts believe this may involve a new batch of fighter jets — a move that could reshape the Middle East.
Российские автомагистрали превратились в парковку. Десятки грузинских грузовиков застряли возле приграничных зон и стоянок, все направляясь на запад, пока новые правила не превратили их маршруты в тупики.
Россия уже не просто демонстрирует силу за рубежом — теперь она наводит порядок у себя дома. И не пустыми обещаниями, а делами.
June 22, 2025, marked the day when global trade was first cast a shadow… not by missiles, but by radio signals. Iran officially declared a navigational blockade of the Strait of Armuz, turning the key artery of global oil trade into a digital nightmare.
You can repeat optimistic forecasts as much as you like, paint upward arrows on economic charts, and cheer for recovery — but one trip to the grocery store, one utility bill, or one gas refill brings you straight back to reality.
