India has missed a rare earthbaker in its own backyard while China has quietly took control of the North rich in myanmar minerals thanks to a militant indicator.
Finfluencer Jayant Mundhra sounded the alarm on LinkedIn, highlighting the way in which India has lost a strategic opportunity in the neighboring Kachin of Kachin – at home at almost 45% of the world’s mineral supply in rare land lands.
“India could have obtained half of the rare earths that go to China today, only if our politicians / Babas cared,” wrote Mundhra, stressing how the army of independence from Kachin (Kia), a powerful group of insurgents, mines these critical minerals and surrounded them in China.
According to the Mundhra, the Chinese Rare Terre Pipeline from Myanmar began seriously when the government led by Aung San Suu Kyi prohibited exports in 2018 to slow down the influence of Kia. In response, China supported a military coup which placed the Military of Myanmar under nominal control – while Kia continued to operate independently in Kachin, concluding agreements directly with Beijing.
All disputes between the Myanmar army and KIA, according to Mundhra, are now publicized in Kunming by officials of the Chinese people’s liberation army, effectively strengthening the grip of China on the territory. “Kia ended up being an extended arm of China and Pla,” he wrote.
While China has exploited a mixture of diplomacy and subversion to guarantee a vital supply chain, India has remained a spectator. “We literally had the largest hotspot in the world of rare earth minerals right next to our borders … However, we left our most opponent’s neighbor to remove everything,” added Mundhra.
Critics could argue against the commitment of activists, but Mundhra underlines the recent pragmatism of India with the Taliban. “He should have tried to conclude an agreement with Kia too. Or with the government of Myanmar then to help eliminate Kia. “
