For over a decade, China has quietly built effectively a monopoly on the critical minerals that power everything from smartphones to fighter jets and the US is now racing to catch up. David Westin speaks with a New Hampshire startup called Phoenix Tailings, where CEO Nick Myers is trying to break China's chokehold on the supply chain. He also talks with author David Abraham, CFR's Heidi Crebo-Rediker, and former US Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns about how the US fell so far behind, and whether innovation can help it leapfrog back into the game.
