       According to foreign media reports, Frank Zelin, a famous German expert on China, said in his article that Australia's choice to confront China, its largest trading partner, was not worth the cost. This confrontation is mainly due to Australia's initiative to form an alliance with the United States to try to suppress China's dominant position in global rare earth supply.
At the time of Sino-U.S. trade disputes, rare earth may be used as a strategic weapon for China's defense, which aggravates U.S. concerns about national security. Rare earth is a national strategic reserve resource, an industrial vitamin, an important support for manufacturing new materials and a key resource for developing advanced national defense technology. China's rare earth reserves are 44 million tons, accounting for 37% of the world's total, ranking first. Between 2013 and 2016, 78% of us rare earths were imported from China. In addition, nearly two-thirds of the U.S. supply of rare earth magnets comes from China.
According to the article, the United States intends to rely on its security alliance with Australia, India and Japan to contain China in the Indo Pacific region. The US and Australia are working together on an agreement to continue to reduce their dependence on China, especially in the supply of rare earths. China supplies 70% of the world's basic materials needed for the battery and mobile phone. Australia has a large number of rare earth resources, which are needed by the high-tech industry of the United States.
Earlier, Linus, Australia's largest rare earth merchant, signed an agreement with the blue line company of the United States to set up a rare earth separation facility in the United States. At the same time, northern mining, another rare earth developer in Australia, also increased the exploitation of rare earth resources. Australia said that they have enough rare earth reserves to supply the United States, so that the United States does not have to worry.
However, the article said that Australia, taking the Anti China route, is in an isolated position in the Indo Pacific region. Many neighboring countries are more willing to move closer to China. Australia itself wants to be part of a comprehensive economic partnership agreement in the world's largest free trade area. This future free trade zone will have 3.5 billion people, accounting for half of the world's population. Washington is unhappy that Australians want to join.
The paper points out that the key question is: how long will voters want the authorities to continue to do the economic harm caused by the Australian government's confrontation route once it is shown in daily life? One thing is quite clear: Washington will never be able to make up for Australia's economic losses.
Australia is trying to curb China's influence in Australia, but they ignore one problem: China is Australia's largest trading partner at present, the article said. According to the article, 38% of Australia's export commodities are sold to China, accounting for 8% of Australia's GDP. No country in the world is so dependent on China.
In addition, of the 25 million Australian population, there are about 1.2 million Chinese. At present, more than 100000 Chinese students are studying in Australia. But the growth rate of the number of Chinese tourists, an important economic factor in Australia, is slowing significantly, reaching the lowest level in nine years. Bilateral tensions have led Chinese tourists and students to avoid going to Australia, the article said. Experts estimate that in the next two years, the economic losses caused by the reduction of Chinese tourists to Australia will reach 543 million US dollars.
