China's stranglehold on rare earth metals 'no threat to US security'

vital to defence and technology

China's near-monopoly on rare earth metals poses no threat to US security, a
Pentagon report is likely to conclude.
The year-long study, which will be published this week, may serve to allay c
oncerns that China, which produces 97% of the world's 17 rare earths vital t
o defence and technology industries, could re-impose a near-complete – and
unannounced – export freeze that Beijing initiated in July.
Last week, the EU, World Trade Organisation and US trade bodies called for u
rgent co-operation on the issue, arguing that current trade agreements regar
ding raw materials are inadequate.
But a US defense department report seen by Bloomberg concludes that China's
grip on the market poses no threat to the production of military equipment,
including radar, night-vision goggles and precision-guidedbombs.
The study estimates that the US defence industry uses 5% of the world's supp
ly of metals like neodymium, samarium, and dysprosium, and raises the prospe
ct that the department could help US providers like Molycorp, with loans and
incentives to reopen rare earth mines in the western states.
The Pentagon expects the supply to improve by 2013 once rare earth mines out
side China, including Australia's Lynas Corp, begin production.
The anxiety over China's dominance of the world's rare earth metal market co
mes amid increasing signs of China's accelerating technological prowess. Chi
na accounts for about 36% of reserves, the largest share, and the US is seco
nd, with 13%.
