    • I wonder what they're referring to, specifically? Certainly, it wouldn't take much to de-leverage their current hold over production of rare earthsNairn
    • oke this will just move the market to another place.milfhunter
    • Probably a response to the USA's attempt to ban advanced computer chips from being exported to China.yuekit
    • Oh, it definitely is a response to US limitations, but WHAT are China threatening to limit here? What Tech do they have that everywhere else does not already?Nairn
    • it isn't tech, its raw material.

    • in that case, they've over-played their hand. From your original post though, that doesn't sound like what they're limiting.Nairn
    • "the export of technologies used to produce high-performance rare earth magnets", rather than the raw materials themselves.Nairn
    • @sted Sweden will play part in the solution since they found a shitload of rare metals up in the north.milfhunter
