US officials are complaining that China has been hoarding stocks of rare earth metals critical for the manufacturing of hybrid cars, mobile phones, and weapons. This forces the US to deal with small supplies at high prices, while China has access to large inventories at significantly lower prices.
President Barack Obama said, “We’ve got to take control of our energy future and we cannot let that energy industry take root in some other country because they were allowed to break the rules. If China would simply let the market work on its own we would have no objections, but their policies currently are preventing that from happening and they go against the very rules that China agreed to follow.”
