China controls 90% of rare earth refining, holding sway over critical minerals vital to the U.S., Taiwan and global tech industries, from smartphones and electric vehicles to defense systems.
Political scientist Dimitar Gueorguiev breaks down how China’s dominance evolved, what it means for U.S. supply chains, and how Taiwan’s semiconductor industry could be caught in the crossfire.
Guest: Dimitar Gueorguiev, associate professor of political science at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs and director of Chinese studies at Syracuse University
