Thank the EPA for that.


While you aren't wrong (rare Earth's aren't actually rare), China would still have a decided advantage based on the sheer amount of the minerals that they posess. Combine that with cheap labor and virtually ZERO environmental regulations and China is in a dominant position today (a virtual monopoly...although that is slowly changing).

There are other nation's with cheap labor & lax environmental laws that Western companies could exploit. China had the forethought to set conditions on doing business in their country & greedy corporations accept/ed those terms.
