This is a popular old wives' tale that is common on this board...

the corruption in belts and roads was pointed out buy the ECONOMIST, Many years ago. Not only were interest rates high but most of work force was from China at much higher rates than locale. They gave one example where a fire station built had alll made in China Engins that fell apart. The country had to sign its mines over to China to get out of debt. So I get what you are saying and yes China does scare me.
Did I ever say they were not corrupt if so show me where.

So lets agree that China is out for China and China only.

I just do not believe they are out to get Lynas. AUS use to be on this board and he and i disagreed on many things. When I posted that China would be hurt badly if Lynas went out of business because most manufactures do not want to be sole sourced on any critical part. That manufactures fleeing from China if they had total REE control. this would hurt China much more than the 10% product that Lynas ships. They may not be quite as good as ND Perm magnets but there are lots of alternatives to REE magnets people would switch quickly if China was the only source. China learned this quite clearly 13 years ago.

This is a popular old wives' tale that is common on this board there is some but much less than mt weld ore. But once something like this is said on this board many repeat it and of course it then becomes truth. Many vegetables have fare higher radiation than bananas potassium-40 is what Makes vegetables including bananas radio active It just sounds impressive to say bananas. Carrots, White potato's and sweet potatoes have far more.

Potassium - 40 has a halt life of 1.25B years It varies by where they are grown but a banana typically has 0.1 Micro sieverts of radiation Mt weld is about 30 times higher. Neither is harmful. I posted this several times but this folk lore keeps cummings back up
