I wish I could find another source to confirm this, but if true, that’s basically the nuclear option to kick out all American companies and halt all mineral exports to the US.

Good news if true. Setting and defending personal boundaries is essential in any relationship and especially dealing with a narcissist. It’s not that different at the international scale.
China has been buying and stealing south africa piece by piece for decades. land, mines, politicians. Everything. This will have very negative consequences for all of sa.
They are not defending their boundaries. This is just going to feed the other beast. This just cuts off americas influence on SA, and lets china go full hog into it. This was just they were waiting for.
Most of what Trump/Musk has been doing will directly benefit China. He says they are an enemy and adds tariffs but mostly China is the winner in all of this and will be long term.
