If the higher quotas are based on high grading out mining resources then rare earth prices sky rocket in following years. Issuing quotas does not work. We all know what is going on here with China manipulation of supply. Hence why tariffs are likely to be applied to protect non-Chinese producers. How much of the export goes to Russia for building missile systems? We all know China operates on a red card list system annually, where all companies making huge losses are made up under red card payments in January before the Chinese New Year providing they have done everything the Chinese State told them to do. As a consequence, you have cities built where nobody lives there, EV cars that a lot of people do not want to buy. The economy of China is a zombie factory. They have fast manufacturing techniques but as labour reduces even that advantage gradually falls away. China of course ignores and disrespects other countries intellectual property.
