"Reinvigorating Cold War Alliances with Asian nations.

My comment: With regard to rare earth.
(a) Mure Dickie, Jonathan Soble, Leslie Hook and Javier Blas, Japan Cries
Foul Over Rare Earths; China use of export quotats to encourage investment
is not popular in Tokyo. Financial Times, Oct. 25, 2010.

Quote:

"Purchasers in Europe and the US say they are still getting shipments,
albeit slowly [thus contradicting an earlier report elsewhere that China has
not shipped to any other nations, not just Japan]

"But Chinese offcials and western executies say quota cuts are part of a
strategy intended to boost development of its manufacturing industry by
trading 'resources for technology.'

"The quota creates a powerful incentive to foreign companies to transfer
production to China-based joint ventures because they only apply to raw
materials, not processed forms of commodity, such as rare-earth-made magnets.

(b) A year ago, a Chinese, in a letter to editor of Financial Times, stated
in the wke of collapse of purchase of Australian mine that 以市場換技術
failed (he used pinyin).
