Your claims were that no other country other than China "undercut[s] developed countries by ignoring externalities and the damage caused to the environment by the extremely polluting extraction and refining process" and "The rest of the world definitely has higher environmental standards than China."
That you're now pretending your claim was just that rare earth mining causes any environmental damage at all makes it pretty fucking obvious that you're being wilfully dishonest.
