Talk:Rare earths trade dispute

Is this really a thing that is capitalized as a proper noun?

This article should, if it exists at all, be "Rare earths trade dispute" unless someone can point to a WP:RS that refers to it as a discrete thing that is thus appropriately capitalized as a proper noun. - Julietdeltalima (talk) 19:01, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

Can the original writer or anybody to rephrase "Critics pointed at this incident to argue that China was not above using its dominance in rare earths production to gain leverage in international negotiations."?

I'm now translateing this article [Rare earths trade dispute] into traditional Chinese. I think I know the wordings' meaning, but the wordings themself seem not to be right. Can anybody help make them more plainer and clrearer? Thanks.ThomasYehYeh (talk) 04:17, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

This article was almost certainly written by a teenager who is very passionate about history, but this type of register isn't suited for wikipedia

Referring to countries as persons "China argued x" makes the article appear very immature. Countries are not people with personalities, and they're portrayal as such is associated comedic media. An informational article should avoid characterizing entire nations as if the conflict at hand was an episode of Seinfeld between world leaders. Oro Temp (talk) 23:11, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
