The G20 war has not wavered again. After the just-concluded G20 finance ministers meeting avoided the global "currency war", US White House spokesman Gibbs said that Obama may raise the issue of rare earth at the G20 Seoul summit held from 10 to 12 next month. At the same time, Germany has proposed to France, which will take over the presidency of the G20, to include the issue of raw materials on the top agenda and has been agreed by the French Finance Minister.
China's rare earth reserves account for one-third of the world's total, and production accounts for more than 90% of the world's total. The United States and Australia have 15% and 5% of their reserves, respectively. The US Trade Representative Office began to investigate China's relevant policies on environmental technology trade and investment in accordance with Section 301 of the Trade Law. The export of rare earths is also the subject of investigation.
At the meeting of the German Industry Association, representatives from the European Union, the American Chamber of Commerce and a number of German companies joined forces to express concern about the issue of rare earths. Participants agreed that "the current trade regulations are outdated and they cannot cope with China's monopoly of rare earths." Litman, deputy director of the European Chamber of Commerce for Europe and Eurasia, also called on the United States and Europe to jointly solve this problem. But World Trade Organization Director-General Lamy said that the WTO has no power to deal with this matter. At the EU-China meeting in Brussels, EU Trade Commissioner Degut called on countries to disperse sources of rare earth mining and not rely entirely on China to supply rare earths.

China's unlimited resources will be exhausted
China's rare earth production accounts for more than 90% of the world's total output, but the reserves only account for about 30% of the total. If China maintains its current production schedule, China will face a depletion of rare earth resources after 15 to 20 years. Rare earth is known as the “gold†of industry and is a key material for many major weapon systems. Comrade Deng Xiaoping, the chief architect of China's reform and opening up, once said meaningfully: "There is oil in the Middle East, and we have rare earths."
