Ein führender Experte kritisiert die Aussage des Premierministers, dass „in Japan kein Mangel mehr an seltenen Erden mehr herrschen wird“: „Es würde mich nicht wundern, wenn die (inländischen) Produktionskosten für seltene Erden 100- oder sogar 1000-mal höher wären als in China.“

Rare earth isn’t rare, it’s just incredibly destructive to extract them. It’s surface strip mining using massive amounts of toxic chemicals.
China doesn’t care about pollution, the environment, or citizens health. That’s why they are the main sources, other countries stopped.
