China doesn't just dominate rare earth mining—they control the processing that powers AI, electric vehicles, fighter jets, semiconductors, smartphones, and much of the global economy.

In this interview, Mark Malek sits down with critical minerals expert Phil Chataigneau to expose the hidden supply chain investors continue to overlook. They explain why China controls over 90% of rare earth refining, why simply opening new mines won't solve the problem, and how companies like Apple, Nvidia, Tesla, Ford, GM, and major defense contractors remain exposed.
