Here’s what I thought I knew about rare earths: One, they’re important. (They’re in our smartphones! We can’t live without smartphones!) Two, they’re rare. Three, they come mostly from China, which mines and processes them in ways that are both dirty and ethically problematic.
</span>
</p>
<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span>
They’re certainly important: They’re needed not just in phones but in cars, semiconductors, medical imaging chemicals, robots, offshore wind turbines and a wide range of military hardware.
</span>
</p>
<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span>
But it turns out
</span>
<a class="css-sdwaa1" style="color:#286ed0;-webkit-text-decoration:underline;text-decoration:underline">
they’re not all that rare
</a>
<span>
: They can be found all over the world. They’re just very spread out and hard to refine.
</span>
</p>
<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span>
And as it happens, the world doesn’t have to depend on China for them either. As I learned from reading two stories about rare earths by my colleagues this past week — one from China and one from France — relying on China for these strategically important resources was a choice: For Western countries, it outsourced pollution; for everyone, it kept production costs down.
</span>
</p>
<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span>
But rare earths could be produced differently. They could be cleaner. They could come from non-Chinese sources. All of this, however, has a price tag attached.

my colleague Keith Bradsher traveled to Baotou
</a>
<span>
, a flat, industrial city of two million people in the Inner Mongolia region of China that calls itself the world capital of the rare earth industry. While the air in Baotou no longer has the acrid, faintly metallic taste that he found during a 2010 visit, a huge lake of toxic and radioactive waste has not been cleaned up. He also traveled to Longnan, in south-central China, another town that produces rare earths. There, he found a creek in front of some mines that was, as he put it, “bright orange and bubbling mysteriously.”

my colleague Jeanna Smialek visited

<span>
in La Rochelle, a picturesque port city that has long ranked among the most livable places in France. A new rare-earths production line there takes recycled materials and, using “giant metal tanks topped by gently whirring motors,” distills out two key minerals used in magnets. (Fun fact: Rare earth magnets can be 15 times as powerful as iron magnets of the same weight.)
</span>
</p>
<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span>
The catch? It costs about 20 percent more than importing the rare earths directly from China.

Lower cost, higher risk

</h2>
<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span>
Importing cheap Chinese rare earths comes with big risks. In April, in response to President Trump’s tariffs, China temporarily suspended almost all exports of seven kinds of rare-earth metals, as well as some of the very powerful magnets made from them.
</span>
</p>
<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span>
The
</span>
<a class="css-sdwaa1" style="color:#286ed0;-webkit-text-decoration:underline;text-decoration:underline">
resulting shortages
</a>
<span>
at car plants in the U.S. and Europe — a Ford Explorer factory in Chicago had to close temporarily — brought home the real cost of outsourcing these strategic minerals.
</span>
</p>
<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span>
So the question is: Are countries prepared to shell out more, not just for cleaner rare earths, but also for their own strategic independence?
</span>
</p>
<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span>
It’s not clear that the answer is yes. Europe has, for example, long relied on cheap Russian gas and avoided investing in military deterrence. And even though China first cut off rare earth supplies to Japan in 2010, few countries have since taken meaningful steps to diversify.
</span>
</p>
<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span>
But reading these two pieces together, it’s hard not to be struck by the stark contrast between two different versions of the same industry. Rare earth production can be relatively clean. It doesn’t have to be the near-exclusive domain of a country that weaponizes its industry dominance. But this sort of rare earth would be more expensive. Is anyone willing to pay?
