Korea’s Setopia Concerns mount over China’s dominance of strategic minerals HANOI, Sept 25 (Reuters) – Vietnam plans to restart its biggest rare-earths mine next year with a Western-backed project that could rival the world’s largest, according to two companies involved, as part of a broader push to dent China’s dominance in a sector that helps power advanced technologies. The move would be a step toward the Southeast Asian country’s aim of building up a rare-earths supply chain, including developing its capacity to refine ores into metals used in magnets for electric vehicles, smartphones and wind turbines.

Even 1.4 billion people ‘probably can’t fill’ all of China’s vacant homes, ex-official admits
