China Cuts “Clean Tech Vital” Rare Earth Exports
China, the world’s largest rare- earths producer, cut export quotas for the minerals needed to make hybrid cars and televisions
by 72 percent for the second half, raising the possibility of a trade dispute with the U.S.
Shipments will be capped at 7,976 metric tons, down from 28,417 tons for the same period a year ago,
according to data from the Ministry of Commerce yesterday.
