Ruling not likely to up China rare earth exports
The World Trade Organisation has now concluded its investigation of China's self-imposed rare earth export restrictions. The ruling has decided against China, and will push it to change policies. The panel ruled that China violated global trade laws by artificially restricting exports of ram materials such as bauxite, coke, magnesium, manganese, and zinc, thus cutting supply and unfairly giving its own companies an unfair advantage.
