What are the rare lands?

The rare lands refer to 17 minerals with magnetic and conductive properties that help feed most electronic devices. They are vital for the production of smartphones, tablets and voice assistants.

They are not really “rare” and can be found in other countries, including in the United States. But they are difficult to extract safely.

About a third of the world’s rare land deposits is in China. However, the country controls more than 90% of production, according to the United States Geological Service, in part due to its lower labor costs and less strict environmental regulations.

In addition to its use in electronics, rare lands are vital to many of the main weapons systems that the United States depend on national security.

This includes lasers, radars, sonars, night vision systems, missile orientation, jet engines and armored vehicle alloys, according to a report that Pentagon prepared during President Donald Trump’s first term.

“China strategically flooded the global market with rare land at subsidized prices, expelled competitors and prevented new participants in the market,” this report said.
