Xi Jinping may no longer be in charge of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). A series of top level purges within the Chinese military has removed key loyalists of Xi, in what looks like a power grab against the communist leader.

In other news, the United States has signed a deal with Australia on the production of rare earth elements. And alongside this, details are being exposed on how the CCP manufactured a global monopoly on the key materials.
