The processing results in uranium and other difficult-to-process byproducts; stuff that the chinks just bury underground, because they don't give two fucks -- just spraying green paint over the arid lands they create -- and given they are looking to lebensraum the planet after the next world war anyway.
So, no -- it's the processing that is the issue. REE's aren't that "rare" per se; they're just dispersed all over the place and not in heap. The chinks have a lot or what's currently known; but, they are not the only ones. If the plants weren't scuttled thanks to (((globalism))) and left-side Bell Curve politicians, the chinks would not have the leverage that have had and will continue to enjoy for years to come.
As Teddy said, nine-tenths of wisdom is being wise on time.
