China rides green revolution, limiting export of rare metals

China is tightening controls over some of the worlds most obscure but valuable materials. The Asian economic superpower currently produces more than 90 percent of the worlds so-called rare earth metals, which are used in everything from green technology to military hardware. The Chinese government is now taking major steps to limit the availability of rare elements to the rest of the world.
Marcus Mabry, international business editor of The New York Times, joins Daljit Dhaliwal to discuss these rare materials and the implications of China restricting their export.

@syyenergy7 you mean they smartly own everything..export and gradually dumping USD to accumulate hard assets. they are just doing whats best for them. one sector the chinese have not touched is US real estate, that tells me this country has more to deflate...

China is going to own everything. Just how the global planners want it. This female will be spreading her legs for them. Cheerio.
