According to Reuters, a company in the Netherlands that closely tracks the rare earth industry said that China has limited the production of rare earths in the second half of this year to 45,000 tons, the lowest level in five years, and only enough to supply domestically. According to the report, this data means that China's rare earth production index in the second half of this year has been cut by 35 percent. Industry analysts said that in the current development of China's rare earth resources over-exploitation and rapid reduction of reserves, this measure is conducive to the implementation of rare earth resource reserve strategy. And foreign media said, where will the new US weapons that rely heavily on China's rare earths go?

The Global Rare Earth Industry Will be Changed by China’s Movement

The big thing that has happened or is likely to happen in the second half of the year is that China wants or will cut rare earth production. Some experts said that this move by China may incite the global rare earth industry. Things are like this. Recently, Adamas Business Company said that China will reduce its rare earth production in the second half of this year and will control it at 45,000 tons. According to data tracking in previous years, this will be the lowest point of China's rare earth production in more than five years. This is likely to reduce China's rare earth exports, which in turn leads to rising rare earth prices. As a result, manufacturers may be forced to look for alternatives to rare earth supplies on a global scale, as there is little research on rare earth substitutes. Therefore, analysts believe that this may be more likely to be US companies, especially the US military, because they have no other source of supply, and the consumption of rare earths is still very large.

A few days ago, the US Department of Defense announced the report "Assessing and Strengthening the Flexibility of the US Manufacturing and Defense Industry Foundation and Supply Chain." The report said that the US defense industry is heavily dependent on foreign countries and contains nearly 300 kinds of foreign military products. Among them, the demand for rare earth and other materials and spare parts in China is particularly large, such as military solar cells and aircraft LCD screens. Therefore, there are sayings that "Beijing is a major risk" and take the words that China needs to influence the US national defense security. However, it is clear that this is just a ridiculous rhetoric and a "reason" for the United States to strengthen the "China threat theory." The "drunken man's intention is not in the wine" in the United States is clear!
