This similar to the Pre WWII Japanese taking over rubber production. When the war started for the US, we had shortages of rubber and we over came that by making a rubber substitute. What helped win the war against the Japanese was that the US could build efficient and effective ships and planes at a cost of replacement less than Japans'.

Trade games
At the end of the day, these trade games have a way of backfiring.
I'll bet that there must be some items that would seriously affect the Chinese should some of their rare earth customers decide to play the same game.

Just like Sony emerged contrastingly with quality products at a time when Japanese goods were quite cheaply made, who, if anyone, will be the "Sony" of China?
Or, is a super-quality consumer product from China impossible now because they have all stabbed each other in the back so many thousands of times and ground the workers into the dirt so hard that it will always be a source of commodities? Is the baton of quality is still lying in the road of time near the corpse of Sony? Will it be picked up by another?
