Between the 60's and 80's the majority of rare earth production was done not in China, but in the USA at the Mountain Pass Mine in CA. This has already been re-opened and could ramp up production immediately in case of a Chinese embargo. — PolitiTweet.org

Since the risk China will cut of rare earths is not new (they tried and failed with Japan in 2010) mining operations as well are already on the drawing board. America's Mountain Pass Mine, which used to produce rare earths and was shut down, has already been re-opened. — PolitiTweet.org

China's best play on rare earths will not be to embargo the US, which would just cause us to ramp up the Maintain Pass Mine and other production, but to make rare earths cheaper in China so manufacturers are not tempted to leave due to higher US tariffs. — PolitiTweet.org
