Supply chains as Beijing's strategic chokehold on Moscow - Eastern Express - TVP WORLD

Russia is racing to build a domestic rare-earth industry while China and Beijing tighten their grip on the global supply chain. This episode breaks down why mining is the easy part and processing is the real choke point. We examine Moscow’s Siberian projects, Rosatom’s “mine to magnet” ambitions, and why technology access remains blocked. We also look at Central Asia’s hedging strategy and Washington’s supply chain diplomacy. The bottom line: slogans won’t beat incumbency in industrial geopolitics.
