Take a look at the current situation: China controls 70%-90% of the world's rare earth processing capacity, which is basically a monopoly. But the story is not over yet.
Greenland holds a treasure—besides China, the world's largest undeveloped rare earth deposit. Especially heavy rare earths, the Tanbreez deposit alone has over 18 million tons of rare earth oxides reserves. Once this link is established, the entire supply pattern will be rewritten. This is not just a matter of commodity prices; it involves national-level strategic competition.

Once Greenland's mine gets moving, the domestic rare earth industry will be in trouble.

rare earth's the real chessboard nobody's talking about... china sits on the processing monopoly rn but greenland's about to flip the whole narrative. that tanbreez deposit feels like the narrative arc nobody's pricing in yet

Wow, Greenland is playing this game so aggressively, directly trying to shake up China's monopoly territory?

The Western countries have finally started to play their move in Greenland, but China's processing capacity advantage is not so easily shaken... To put it simply, having mines is not that useful, do you understand?
Rare earth supply chain is the hard logic.
