Title: Will Chinas Outrageous Rare Earth Monopoly Persist
Year Date: 2010.
Heavy importers of these REEs such as the U.S., Germany, and Japan believe these rationales disguise China s true exploitative motive: to force foreign factories to move to China to keep their costs low and their supply high
Second, importing countries have been concerned with the agglutination of Chinese mining companies in what appears to be a calculated move to make China s monopoly even more monopolistic. Most prominently, Bao Gang Rare Earth (BGRE), a state-owned REE company forcibly merged with four smaller companies and numerous smaller companies were shut down to create a monopoly in Northern China which accounts for two-thirds of China s output. Moreover, China s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) decreed minimum production thresholds for domestic companies in early August 2012, essentially truncating the smallest REE producers as well as with 20% of China s rare earths capacity.
Third, Chinese companies have determinedly acted to protect their monopoly by buying potential international rivals. Lynas Corp., an Australian company displayed plans to open a new REE mine when in May 2009, a company owned by the Chinese government swooped in with a $366 million bid and bought a majority stake in it.

The Chile example,
USSR has supported its Cuban proxy that in turn supported Marxist Salvador Allende. You're a hypocrite.
Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état.
Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches.
During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources.
💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country".
---------------
In your argument's summary, the USSR-supported regime change intervention is okay while the US intervention is bad. Your argument is hypocritical.
