Which of the listed reasons are causes to be concerned for one country (China or any other) controlling the vital and widely applicable rare earth elements market at the resource/mining level? Rare earth elements are toxic and could be used in a form of chemical warfare. Terrestrial supplies of rare earth elements are rapidly running out and the last country possessing them will have a significant strategic advantage. Rare earth elements are used in great abundance for defense sector building (e.g. fighter jets, missiles, etc.). Corporations with a large influence on the United States economy (eg, Apple, GE, HP, etc.) are dependent on a steady supply of rare earth elements for the manufacture of some (if not all) of their major products.
