Why China's lead in critical minerals and materials is almost unshakable - remember, China is already the world's largest producer of gallium and rare earths:

How China pulled off a critical mineral production tech revolution in just 10 months​

‘Unique’ Chinese efficiency turns European firm’s vision into reality by building the world’s first large-scale silica-removal technology
  • The project, a partnership between French-Swiss firm IB2 and Shanxi Senze Energy Technology Group, marks the world’s first large-scale deployment of this revolutionary silica-removal technology.
  • It allows China to tap into its vast domestic reserves of low-grade bauxite, reducing reliance on imports from Guinea and Australia.
  • But beyond aluminum independence, greater value lies in what else the ore can produce: gallium, vanadium, lithium, niobium – and potentially rare earths
  • “China has 60 per cent of the world’s aluminum production. You cannot work in that industry without working with China”
  • “Building a unit in China is very regulated – environmental and dangerous materials [are subject to] heavier regulation.
