November 2025: What’s Up with Xi and Rare Earth Minerals?
What happened to Xi Jinping’s export restrictions to the world – and why did his export restrictions fail so fast? Did Xi overplay his hand?
Let’s break this down.
China produces 95 percent of the refined rare earth minerals for consumption by the entire world. China is also the world’s number-one recycler of rare earths.
And China’s had some help getting there. For the last quarter of a century, China has been working to corner the rare earth minerals market with the help of green energy advocated and the World Economic Forum (WEF).
Advocates of green energy have been pushing for renewable energy and electric vehicles (EVs), which require large amounts of rare earths, and to stop mining and refining in Western countries like the United States. Meanwhile, businesses associated with the WEF have wanted to work with green energy advocates to eliminate the ability for Western countries to mine and refine rare earth minerals, and to open the door for globalists to be the go-between for China and Western businesses – allowing them make huge profits.
