Unit VII Case Study

In Chapter 10 of your International Trade textbook, there is a Headlines segment titled “China Signals Support for Rare Earths.”

Please read this article in your textbook and then do further research on the 17 rare earth minerals that are discussed in the article. Explain what China is doing with the rare earth industry and come up with a proposal to counter China’s actions. Does the U.S. have an extensive rare earth industry, and if not, what would you do to grow this industry and protect it?

Your case study should be at least 500 words in length. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.
