    As you stated in the video, these "ROCKS" basically are everywhere! and actually VERY ABUNDANT. The only thing that makes them rare is isolating and concentrating them into useful quantities requires a chemical processing plant. It is a process not unknown or rare at all, in fact the same technology is used for mining many other types of metals such as copper, aluminum, silver and gold throughout the world...

      Although this video doesn't address it, Thorium is likely to power the future. Molten Fuel Reactors (often referred to as MSRs) such as LFTRs, are the future of clean nuclear power, and people who tell you that there is no such thing as clean, safe nuclear, don't know what they're talking about. I recommend Gordon McDowell's fine channel on next gen reactors, especially thorium reactors.

Even if they had a claim hundreds of years ago, the world has moved on. We see what happens in the Balkans and the Middle East when people continue to fight wars over claims which are centuries old; China's policy is simply the same - trying to go back to what existed (maybe, and that's a really BIG maybe...) hundreds of years ago but which has not existed in any remotely modern times is simply absurd. There is a difference between a government and a region. The current Chinese government has no proper claim to the region, and the previous governments no longer exist. If anything, assuming the Chinese logic, then Taiwan has the better claim by far...
      No, the Central Kingdom is not going to be the ruler of the world, nor does Chinese ancestry mean that you are a subject of the tyrannical kleptocracy which is the Chinese Communist Party. What happened at Tienanmen Square, what is happening in Hong Kong, and the disappearance of hundreds since Xi entered the picture graphically demonstrates the moral, ethical and legal corruption of the Chinese government.

    We need to make as environmentally friendly as possible mines outside the US and then rely on chemistry to get the elements out of the rock and supplying energy from alternative energy sources. Even the alternative energy needs those elements to happen especially with solar, wind, battery, and electric car. We can also recover the elements from used end of life electronics. Be sure to use the proper balanced chemical equation for each reaction.

    NONESENSE, rare earths are found in many places the only problem is, is that the us decided to get all there metals from one place China, but dont you worry old mines will reopen soon. all because the us of a dont want China to have a monopoly here, ps while you are at it usa, perhaps you can find some purpose for all the Thorium you are digging up with all that rare earth ?

    The single largest problem with rare earth extraction is thorium - very slightly radioactive and _SHOULD_ be a valuable nuclear fuel. They can be used in LFTR designs.
    The hard part is "disposing" of the thorium - and the odd part is that if we developed LFTR reactors then "Rare earth" mines would be thorium mines with rare earths as a side business.

    "As China clamps down further on their exports, they've begun to tip the scales against themselves and have made rare earth mining and processing profitable outside of their borders, which is why we see so many countries just beginning to develop their own deposits. China has even tried to purchase and control mines outside of their borders in attempts to keep control over the industry. But, like at the end of Black Panther, this control might change soon.

    Great comic book science. Reality is Monazite deposits (rare earth ore) cover vast beaches in India and Brazil and also found in 11 US states. California had a RE mine with more Europium (used in tube color TV sets). China deposits like those in Africa yields other metals which defrays RE mining costs.

    We have plenty of rare Earth elements in the US, only issue is mines are shut down because they tend to be accompanied by Thorium, which if US politicians didn't have shit for brains, would be being used in molten salt reactors to make safe abundant electricity, but since they don't make weapons grade plutonium US politicians prefer unsafe light water reactors prone to melt down and other safety hazards and also burning rare U-235 which has to be isotopically enhanced unlike thorium which has only one isotope and it's all useful, but hey.
