"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Why did china chose to suspend its rare earth ban? (lemmygrad.ml)

This allows America to rearm and continue murdering innocent people. America's military was getting ready to resupply when the rare earth ban came into effect. Why even negotiate with America anymore. They were in a winning position and they just gave it up. China can go without America but America can't go without China. And they didn't even remove all of the tarifs just some of them. China could have gotten far more for that deal if they even wanted to make it. It just feels like a big mistake.

I'm sorry but this is an unserious take. We might not know the reason for this, but to jump the gun and just say China is now dominated by neoliberals makes no sense. Basically all key industries are still publicly owned in China, there are 5 year plans, the population still learns and studies Marx and Marxism in school and they still maintain their commitment to the 2049 goal, I see literally no reason to think China is anywhere close to neoliberal.

Besides, we can criticize China for it's lack of internationalism and it's consequences right now while also acknowledging that they have set themselves to become internationalist again also by 2049.
