Rare earth issue raised during vice premier's European visit

The rare earth issue was brought up during China's vice premier Li Keqiang's visit in Europe, especially in Germany.

China's position is clear:
1. Its export will be continue to be regulated for environment concerns.
2. It welcomes international cooperation in the development of rare earth minerals.

Media focus has been on the first point. But China's willingness to stabilize the market, to cooperate with other countries to develop rare earth elsewhere, as well as the developing substitutes, has been almost ignored.
