China is to introduce licensing for access to its rare earth resources in a move to up the ante in its trade war with the USA.

As (white) Motown band Rare Earth put it in their song Get Ready:

Well, twiddley-dee, now twiddley-dum
Look out, baby, now, here I come

Clearly the song was not about rare earth resources but what is fast approaching in the real world is an earth-shatterring climax that could lead to World War 3.

Well, fee-fi, fo-fo-fum
Look out, baby, now here I come

The US let the beanstalk grow up into the heavens and now the giant is coming down to play.
