China Policy on Rare Earth Update: China further tightens Rare Earth Production and Exports
"The Ministry of Commerce of the People?s Republic of China released a dramatic cut in the second half of 2010 Rare Earths export quota. In total the export quota for 2010 was 40% less than the total export quota for 2009."
