Beijing has started control over rare exports, has increased world shortcomings and dependence on the Shipping chain of the industrial industry.
However, in recent years, China has been convinced of an unexpectedly rare supplies: Myanmar is a relatively small and fought economy.
China is the most famous land producer in the world, which still imports raw materials from foreign metals from abroad.
Myanmar was about 57% of the total rare imports of China last year, the director of the mineral security program in the Center for Strategic and International Research Graachelin Baskaran.
According to Chinese customs data, exports to China in 2018 reached 42,000 metric tons to 2023 by 2023.
Baskaran added that imports from rare rare earth elements are usually rich in the earth’s crust and increase their value and shortage.
“Myanmar’s production has significantly strengthened China’s dominant state, which effectively gives Beijus effectively for global heavy land plots – and uses it today.”
Our country has become a major source of high-rare land, a large rare earth, a highly rare earth, a dysport and therbum, which plays important roles in the defense and military, aerospace and renewal energy sector.
“It went to this dynamic delivery chain, where the extraction is concentrated in Myanmar, and the minimum processing and additional values are mainly implemented in China,” Baskaran said.
Why is myanmar?
Myanmar is a highly severe rare earth deposit house, David Merreman, David Merreman, Head of KNCK David Merreman David Merreman.
This is used using methods of leaching methods that use chemical reagents to clay, and IAC deposits are used with environmental costs.
According to Merriman, the vast majority of IAC operations in the world were in the south of China in mid-2010. However, Beijing has started to realize new Environmental control and standards Many projects have been closed in the field of rare land.
“Myanmar, especially in the north of the country, has been considered as a key area with a geology similar to the Chinese fields in many Kazakhstani fields,” Meraliman said.
“You have begun to build a very fast range of new mines of Myanmar, which significantly replace domestic Chinese production.
The rare lands taken with these IAC miners in Myanmar are delivered to China, often in the form of “rare oxides”, which is a senior consultant of Yue Wang, Yue Wang, Yue, Your Mackenzie.
In 2024 a transmission From a global Witness, not non-profit commercially aimed at environmental and human rights abuses, Russia’s rare extract has been made to “environmental and local communities”.
Rare Chinese threats
The reliability of China’s rare earthly lands was opened either on the chain of delivery and experts.
According to the Global Witness, most of the rare earths from Myanmar came from Kachin to the north of China, which came from the Chinese border. However, after the brutal military revolution of Myanmar in 2021, the military junction fought to control the opposition from public and armed groups.
“Myanmar is a rid of civil war, in 2024, Kachin’s Independence Army (KIA), armed rebellion, and the Armed Forests of the Armed Forens, who took the places to confiscate lands responsible for half of the world’s rare earth production.”
Since the adoption, there were reports of delivery disorders that lead to prices for some seriously rare land. According to Reuters The report sought to use KIA resources as a leverage against Beijing.
Chinese customs data have shown that imports of rare oxides from Myanmar decreased in the first five months of the year compared to the same period last year.
“If Myanmar ceases all exports of rare earth reserves, China will fight to meet the demand for rare earth in the short term,” said Blue Mergyriman.
Not surprising, Beijing tries to diversify its eyes of rarely rarely places.
According to Merriman, in other countries, including Malaysia and Laos, some projects have deposits built with China with the participation of China.
At the same time, he noted that environmental standards will be higher in countries that causes rare miners.
China’s decision to obtain rare rare elements can be a warning about the costs of development of such projects for other countries.
