Rare earths are a general term for a class of metals with less reserves, which are widely used in cutting-edge technology and military industries  Most of the world's rare earths are produced in China  Since 1998, China has begun to reduce the amount of rare earth mining, control the rare earth export quota, and strengthen the concentration of the rare earth industry
In this regard, some countries accuse China of monopolizing resources, which is extremely destructive to other countries in the world, and demand that China relax its control over the rare earth industry
Rare earths are non-renewable and important strategic resources.
