Pax Silica Alliance: American Strategy to Counter Chinese Dominance

The administration of US President Donald Trump announced the creation of a new international alliance named "Pax Silica", a strategic move aimed at reducing Chinese control over rare earth elements and enhancing Western superiority in artificial intelligence and advanced technologies.

This alliance comes as part of a broader vision adopted by the Trump administration under the title "Technological Peace", which aims to build a more independent global economic and technological system, less reliant on China, especially in sensitive sectors related to national security.

According to the US State Department, the "Pax Silica" alliance includes key countries that form the backbone of global AI supply chains, such as Japan, South Korea, Singapore, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Israel, the UAE, and Australia.

The US State Department confirmed that these countries include major companies and investors who lead global supply chains in advanced technology fields, giving the alliance significant economic and industrial weight.

Jacob Helberg, Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs, explained that the alliance paves the way for broad cooperation in research, development, and manufacturing, noting that the goal is to compete with China's Belt and Road Initiative.
