Welcome to Buried Origins — in today’s episode, we uncover why China’s next military campaign might not be in Taiwan or the South China Sea, but in a remote strip of jungle along the Myanmar border, over the control of strategic heavy rare earth elements — critical to powering the next generation of missiles, fighter jets, submarines, drones, and hypersonic weapons.🎯 Key flashpoints:Dysprosium, terbium, yttrium — essential for stealth technology, guided missile systems, and electronic warfare platformsWhy 70–99% of the world’s HREEs (heavy rare earth elements) are processed in China — and up to half originate from MyanmarWhy rebel militias in Myanmar now control strategic resource chokepointsWhy Beijing is threatening to cut off rebel supply lines — and may escalate to a limited cross-border operation or covert special forces deploymentHow U.S. adversaries exploit asymmetric warfare, gray zone tactics, and resource leverageWhy Western militaries, from the Pentagon to DARPA, are watching this situation closely💣 This isn’t about trade — this is geo-industrial warfare. Supply chains are now battlefields, and rare earths are the ammunition of the 21st century.⚔️ Will China send in the PLA Ground Force, border security brigades, or paramilitary units to stabilize the flow of strategic materials? Or will it use deniable operations, proxy warfare, or economic coercion to maintain dominance?👁️ With supply chains cut by 50% in early 2025 and fighting in Kachin State’s Bhamo choking off exports, this could become a stealth conflict the world doesn’t see — but one that shapes the future of military readiness, defense tech, and global power projection.🔔 Subscribe to Buried Origins for high-impact breakdowns of the hidden wars, strategic conflicts, and buried crises shaping our world.#China #PLA #RareEarths #Geopolitics #MilitaryConflict #Myanmar #SupplyChainWarfare #MissileTech #FighterJets #DefenseIndustry #Bhamo #BuriedOrigins #MilitaryBuzz #ElectronicWarfare #UAVs #USChinaRivalry #GreatPowerCompetition #ResourceWar #GrayZoneConflict #CovertOps #HREE #Pentagon #Trump #Biden #MilitaryLogistics #DefenseNews #AsiaConflict #WW3
