There's nothing "rare" about rare earth minerals:

https://www.thermofisher.com/blog/mining/whats-so-rare-about-rare-earth-elements/

It's just that it's cheaper to buy from China that to mine them ourselves:

Higher costs will simply be passed on to the consumer:

The video had already explained that. It's rare mostly because of the
difficulty to extract and refine.

China's rare earth output capacity is 90% of the world total.

Only if you can scrounge enough from the remaining 10% source if China
cuts you off.

Well, they are not exactly common.

However the main bit is ECONOMICAL mining/refining.
China has relatively concentrated ores - and cheap
enough labor to refine them at undercutting prices.

Fortunately, the China situation has pushed research
into alternatives - based on more widely-available
metals/minerals. There is some success at this already.

Apparently Greenland has a lot of neodynium, and, guess
what, the Chinese are trying to corner the rights to
mine the stuff there. Last I heard, the Greenies have
told them to go fuck off. However China COULD buy the
next elections ....

My grandfather, a horticulturist, made a stop in
Greenland in the late 1800s to see if there was
any hope of establishing farms there. Took him
about an hour to decide to move on to north
America. Greenland is good for oily fish and
more oily fish - but nobody knew about neo
back then. If he had staked a claim on any
old rock back then, geez, the family could have
been billion-dollar babies right now :-)

A huge amount of neo is WASTED - thrown away in dead
disk drives and motors. Recycling incentives are needed.
Just assume the price will double or triple within the
next five years as things get shittier with China. Hell,
the local landfill might be the best neo mine in the
country !

A major need for neo magnets is the electric car market.
Actually, right now, China could crush that (or corner
the market) because it is the neo-Lord. However I've been
seeing articles lately about improved, "smarter", 3-phase
induction motors that waste very little power. They may
wind up being as efficient as permanent-magnet motors
and a lot cheaper.

There is also development into "engineered" unconventional
materials that can be even more magnetic, with less weight,
than neo magnets. Whether they can be upscaled into actual,
affordable, consumer tech is unclear however.

Like anything, if you have to "scrounge" too much
for it the PRICE will be impractically prohibitive.

BUT, is there a future ? China is gearing up for
nuclear war - a couple hundred new ICBM silos
in construction have already been spotted (there
are likely a lot more). Nuclear threats have already
been made against Japan and more conventional
threats against everyone else. China IS ramping up
to be the next great Imperialist power - and don't
you DARE get in its way ! Think "white people"
were bad ? You ain't seen nothin' yet.

So, the "high tech future" may have far less to do
with rare earth metals and more to do with mules
and donkey-carts and scratch-farming turnips -
back to the 7th century .....

Bloody peasants !

China is merely reacting to US threats. China would be stupid not to
prepare for US aggression, considering how many countries the US has
bombed since the end of WWII.

Apologizing for totalitarian genocidalists now ? Making
bullshit excuses for their imperialist ambitions ?

Sorry. Fail. Go back to Xi and apologize for your lackings.

The USA never asked much of China - just leave Taiwan, now
a distinctly different culture, alone and don't try to take
over the world. Oh, and the USA didn't bomb China in WW2,
it spent blood and treasure defending it against Japan
well before Pearl Harbor.

The US is the biggest imperialist, supplanting the British, the French,
and the Spanish empire. Just look at the fact that the US has invaded
almost every country under the sun.

These are the three countries the US has not invaded (yet) because
Americans are too stupid to read a map, and they cannot find their own
ass (even using both hands):

China and Taiwan are one country ruled by two rival regimes, namely the
Communist in the mainland and the Nationalist in the island of Taiwan.

"After WW2".

Bang your head on the keyboard to clear your brain fog, and then try to
read properly.

The Communist "Mao" and the Nationalist "Chiang" were fighting against
each other in a very long civil war, and later against the Imperial
Japanese invaders when WWII broke out.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mao_Zedong

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiang_Kai-shek

As usual, the US picked the corrupt side (just like later in the Vietnam
"conflict"). Your "blood and treasure" were wasted on the corrupt
Nationalist regime which later lost the civil war and retreated and set
up shop on the island of Taiwan (with the help of the American 7th Fleet).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Civil_War

The Taiwan regime (R.O.C.) had occupied China's seat in the UN as the
true representation of China, and Mao's mainland China (P.R.C) was the
renegade regime until 1971 when the UN voted to recognize Mao's mainland
China (PRC) as the true presentation of China, and Chiang's Taiwan (ROC)
as the renegade regime.
