TJ you again make mistakes, regarding "rare earths" and in general this was not my point when writing you about China leadership, and is the equivalent of claiming that no bribes are paid in many places to permit to do something. …. and this is the last post related to your musing which are unfortunate routed in pure nationalism and highly incorrect if one evaluates per capita achievements. China has in excess of 1,400 million people and it is only naturally that as a country they have more scientist as let say a country with 60 million citizens. Many Chinese scientist are trained or learned in western countries and worked in western laboratories and returned home with a trove of knowledge that they put to good use. The accumulated knowledge is on Western Countries taxpayer expense. But overwhelmed by quantity not always overrides quality. So if you throw 100 ideas to solve a problem the chances are one may hit the jackpot. If you check the academic papers there are plenty of people from China publishing in accordance with the amount of people living there. There are many other rare earths deposit including in the US, S. Arabia Turkey etc. mixed with Bauxite and I presume Africa India, Madagascar, South Africa mixed with monazite sands which is an important ore for thorium, lanthanum, and cerium . Because thorium is accounted as a radioactive material the "square heads" are not giving permits for massive extraction and processing. You are not a chemist and will not go into a lot of details. Due to the ample solar irradiation in the desert of the Negev, I intended to extract those metals from "sysvsd" raw materials as there is a need of a lot of electrical power and needs complex VAR processing for separation. Submitted a proposal to Ministry of Energy but without offering any compensation, I am still waiting for an answer.
