The rare earth industry in China is a large industry. Rare earths are a group of elements on the periodic table with similar properties. Rare earth metals are used to manufacture technologies including electric vehicles (EVs), wind turbines, consumer electronics and other clean energy technologies. Rare earth elements are also important to national governments because they are used in the ...
An overview of one of the regolith-hosted rare earth element deposits (a type of Rare Earth Element mine) in South China [1]. Regolith-hosted rare earth element deposits (also known as ion-adsorption deposits) are rare-earth element (REE) ores in decomposed rocks that are formed by intense weathering of REE-rich parental rocks (e.g. granite, tuff etc.) in subtropical areas.

By 2010, China accounted for 97% of global rare earth supply. Over the years, Beijing has sought to use its leadership in the metals space as leverage in geopolitics. In 2010, China halted all ...
China is reportedly moving toward banning rare earth metal exports to keep high-tech advantages within the country.
Although, according to U.S. Geological Survey data, China contains only a third of the world's rare earth reserves, it accounts for 80% of U.S. imports of the group of 17 minerals used in military ...
China produced about 81,000 tons of rare-earth metals in 2001; the number jumped to about 120,000 by 2006. According to the Chinese Society of Rare Earths, 9,600 to 12,000 cubic metres (340,000 to 420,000 cubic feet) of waste gas—containing dust concentrate, hydrofluoric acid, sulfur dioxide, and sulfuric acid—are released with every ton of ...
A Chinese official warned that products made from the country's rare earth materials should not be used against China's development. China appears to make veiled threat about rare earth minerals ...
