Attempts by some rich countries to challenge China's decision to enhance control and regulation over rare earth minerals is the latest evidence of astounding unfairness in the current global economic and trade order. [Full story]

China wise to guard its rare earth wealth

As scarce and nonrenewable resources, rare earth elements are indispensable material needed by sophisticated industries and national defense industry. China now satisfies 90 percent of the world’s need with 30 percent of the world's total reserves, which is not sustainable in the long term. More importantly, China exported rare earth materials at low prices for a long time due to some problems in the industry.

The environmental problems inflicted by the exploration and utilization at the early stage make regulating the industry an urgent task. In recent years, the Chinese government has strengthened control over the production and export of rare earth materials in an attempt to sustain the industry. No one is entitled to criticize China over this because this is an affair absolutely within China's sovereignty.?[Full story]

Rare earths: Rare as it is

What?are rare earths?

Rare earths: Rare as it is

Rare earth elements or rare earth metals are a collection of seventeen chemical elements in the periodic table, namely scandium, yttrium, and the fifteen lanthanides.

Rare earths?are widely employed in manufacturing sophisticated products including flat-screen monitors, electric car batteries, wind turbines, missiles and aerospace alloys. However, mining the metals is very damaging to the environment.

Which countries produce most rare earths?

Until 1948, most of the world's rare earths were sourced from placer sand deposits in India and Brazil. Through the 1950s, South Africa took the status as the world's rare earth source, after large veins of rare earth bearing monazite were discovered there. Through the 1960s until the 1980s, the Mountain Pass rare earth mine in California was the leading producer.

Today, the Indian and South African deposits still produce some rare earth concentrates, but they are dwarfed by the scale of Chinese production. China now produces over 97 percent?of the world's rare earth supply, mostly in Inner Mongolia, even though it has only 37 percent?of proven reserves. All of the world's heavy rare earths (such as dysprosium) come from Chinese rare earth sources. (Source: Wikipedia)
