House Panel Proposes Plan to Loosen CCP Grip on Global Critical Mineral Markets

The House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party is calling on the Trump administration to establish a federal "critical minerals czar" post, a strategic resources reserve, a critical minerals tax credit, and a "National Center for Rare Earths" to accelerate a mining and refining revival and build a domestic supply chain resilient to Chinese Communist Party (CCP) market manipulation.

Those proposals are among 13 recommendations the panel lays out in a 52-page report charting initiatives the nation must quickly implement to overcome China's dominance in producing metals and materials essential in manufacturing modern electronics, from iPhones to F-35 fighters.
