Show Notes

This week on One Decision, hosts Christina Ruffini and former MI6 Chief Sir Richard Dearlove are joined by Liza Tobin, former China Director at the National Security Council under both the Biden and Trump administrations. They discuss China’s takeover of the rare earth mineral market and whether America and its allies are too far behind when it comes to reducing reliance on Beijing’s critical resources. They also examine the impact of the West’s influence on semiconductor production and what the upcoming meeting between President Donald Trump and Xi Jinping could mean for the U.S.’s dependence on Chinese rare earth elements
