China's rare-earth exports will not be a G20 issue

"Instead of speculating about the issue of rare earths as a political issue, it is essentially a technical issue."　　"Caixin Net" (Comprehensive media reports) the issue of rare earths will not become the issue of G20 Seoul summit, should not be "politicized", "up to a small range of officials to discuss."　　Tesfachu, director of investment and strategic planning at UNCTAD, said positively that the issue of China's export control of rare earths would not be the subject of the upcoming G20 Seoul summit and would not really appear on the agenda, the first financial Journal reported. Richard Jones, deputy director of the International Energy Agency, also said that "it is essentially a technical issue to speculate on the issue of rare earths as a political issue." "We have to respect international dispute settlement mechanisms," he argues. It may take a long time, but the event itself will eventually resolve itself. "The Kingdom of the Netherlands ambassador to China Pei Jingkang also pointed out that rare earths are only a news topic being manipulated."　　After several years of natural regulation of the market, the rare earths will naturally reach a more balanced state. The report shows that the IEA has also begun a study to discuss China's export quotas for rare earths, at the request of some Member States. (Caixin reporter Xu Ming)
