China: The Truth behind the United States’ Coercive Purchase of China’s Rare Earth Minerals

On October 23, 2010, Chinese Business View (www.hsw.cn), one of China’s official websites, published an analytical article titled, “The Truth behind the United States’ Coercive Purchase of Chinese Rare Earth Minerals.” 

The article claims that the reason that US-led Western countries are pressuring China to rescind rare earth export restrictions is to store rare earth. Once China’s rare earth supply is depleted, they will have enough rare earth to confront China.
