Rare earth elements are vital for a wide range of high-tech, defense and green technologies, from iPhones and medical devices to wind turbines, fuel-efficient lamps, smart bombs and submarines. While they aren’t really “rare,” they are difficult and expensive to mine. Since the 1990s, however, China has managed to gain control of an estimated 97 percent of the rare earth industry, thanks to cheap manufacturing, high export duties and artificial supply restrictions.
This book explores the history of the industry and its impact on Chinese society and the global economy.
