rare earth exports to japan, page-6

bsu: A pure resources grab by the expansionist Chinese--it is that simple. Also claimed by them is the entire South China Sea--check out a map and see exactly what that means--another resources grab by the BIG BULLY of the Asian Rim! They had no interest in the islands until it looked like there were hydrocarbons. And any argument that the "Japanese took from us" is pure garbage! How in the hell do you think the Chinese Empire got its expansive nature--by military conquest of adjacent areas!!!!! This conflict could have implications for LYC and ree if China AGAIN chooses to use ree as a political weapon.
