China's Rare Earth Monopoly is Diminishing

China's Rare Earth Monopoly is Diminishing
View Full Size
Rare earth elements, which are important in the development of microchips, electronics, and electric motors, have become extremely sought after, and for decades, these elements were almost exclusively sourced in China. Nevertheless, several nations have, in recent years, either initiated production or increased their current production, resulting in a considerably more diverse rare earths market. 
 
The U.S. Geological Survey reports that China was still in control of even more than two thirds of global production; however, it has also become clear that many countries are skeptical of depending on China's supply of rare earths, suggesting that other producers of the elements may have a market advantage. 
 
While China has the largest known deposits of the elements, Brazil, Vietnam, and Russia are believed to have plenty of untapped potential. The U.S., which produced rare earths previously for use in the military, has recently reentered the market as rare earths continue steadily to become more lucrative and crucial in the implantation of technology.
