RE: https://aus.social/@oscarjiminy/116372538008274622

probly worth pointing out that it's not just that china mine more rare earths than anyone else but that they have the expertise and infrastructure for extraction, refinement and value added manufacturing

china's product is cheaper and of higher quality than anyone else is able to source in the short to medium term

'China does have the world’s largest reserves of rare earths, and it mines more of them than any other nation. But that does not mean it has a monopoly on geological supplies of these and other critical minerals' #geopolitics #rareEarthMinerals #wasteManagement https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/opinion/china-us-rare-earths.html

Chipmakers still suffering from #rareearth shortages, says report — #US-#China trade truce apparently still hasn’t eased pressures despite agreement taking place in October last year
#Rareearths have taken center stage in global geopolitics, becoming strategically important resource alongside oil. China had a headstart in extracting, processing, and refining these materials, meaning it has an edge on almost every country on earth and provides nearly 61% of global supply.
