This type of digging may trigger a tsunami lol
Today’s topic not much news but rare earth documentary because CNA has no money from US aid perhaps this documentary might help to get some money from US AID for CNA 🙏
What's talking about. China dy long ago did deep sea exploration 😂
rich words from china talking about sovereignty and international law.. 🤡🤡
Russia and China always support the governments who kill own people (the dictatorship leader, such Venezuala, Syria, Cambodia, Lao, Myanmar–, yes China is 1.4 billion people do not really care about human life
That Dictator trying to use the riot as excuse to attack Iran, so that can use oil to choke china, like Venezuela using drug cartel as excuse
China should completely stop rare earth to Japan to teach that Rightish Takaichi, a stupid leader who has alot to learn about diplomacy
" In 1 year will have too much rare earth ' It shows that Trump is as usual trying to bullshit those brainless Mega supporter.whatever comes out from his mouth is just sales talk. No substance.
Japanese should focus more on AV instead of EV
If Benjamin Natanyahue and Donald Trump are what are what they claim to be they must carry out the regime change in Iran now and fast. For Israel it's the best chance to eliminate the danger to the Jewish nation from Iran and for US the regime change amounts to talking out one link from the exis of evil.!! Isn't that worth the trouble?
Are the US human rights activists going to oppose the Japan's attempt to dig in the Ocean due to damage to the ocean's environment which could be worse than on land? If they don't, then it shows their hypocrisy. Anyway, I can see that the cost of digging in the ocean is going to be many times more. Anyone want to buy highly expensive rare earths?
Can we also say now that China's rare earths restriction could help reduce environment damage?
Good work. Janpan can find their own rare earth. Don't rely on China. Ready for fighting!
If us cannot stop Chinese rising then it can stop knowing their dependence on oil, first Russia, Venezuela, then Iran will be next.
😧Poor fish , jp Large area scraping the ocean bottom will damage the ocean ecosystem.
If it is China doing this , suddenly there will be many European environmental groups jump out and accuse China to the moon.
China has already issued a statement in its local media regarding the mining of rare earths in the sea. So Japan is not the first one to do it. But then this media entity has a bias for Western countries and allies.
"Shows how out of touch the Chinese communist Infestation is, for them to believe that the US takes any notice of their hollow , Warnings,, 😂
Lol doing the dirty work for u$.
If found , China will claim it has their territory. Problem not solved
War and economy experts suggest that Japan and china can cooperate and together search for new rare earth together…..,……..❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
War and economy experts suggest that mighty must follow usa and setup bases in foreigner nations to better protect and defense friend nation and help them fight enemy who wants to bully them, and also to protect china's supply from being interrupt.. for china security and safety reasons………..❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
PLEASE BANNED TINDER AND BUMBLE IN SINGAPORE, IT'S NOT SAFE FOR US AND THE YOUNGSTERS……….. CAUSING ALOT OF INFIDELITY…………………..
We absolutely need to reduce our dependence on China, no matter what.
Japan found their source for Rare Earth is in Taiwan! Japan got to have Taiwan for national security!
Thatd a genius move by Japan.
CCP can suhuck on duheeeze nuhuts!!
That's why we need robots to do the dangerous radioactive jobs as processing rare earth's. There is a need!!
CNA another us stooge just like nippon. 😂Japan can do nothing about it…they have been trying to refine for the past ten years but can't get it right..only 55% of elements extracted and they cant tackle the pollution associated with the refining and China has the expertise on alleviating pollution and holds most patents. Let Nippon try another ten years😂😂
The loser of Chinese has been appearing since the first Sino-Japanese war 😂
Hopefully Trump destroy xi soon better for the world peaceful,after 4 years,this guy start the Brisc destroy Americans against
Did they not show the election result yet there Beat?
After 15 years, Short Japanese still 70% dependent on China Rare Earth supply. This is Nonsense. Rare Earth are everywhere, processing is the main issue. China are holding The Card.
.
10 years too late
さすが親中のシンガポールのコメント欄だね！日本が嫌いらしい😂
as if china is respecting international law. what a shameless china😂😂😂😂
Well done !
Japan has such a great environmental record with the ocean, what could possibly go wrong?🙄
Cna ..cco mouthpiece
China says it does not have enough REs for their own projected needs… rare earth steel has astonishing properties
It would be very wise reducing trading with Agressive totalitarians Autocratic regimes , considering what Autocratic mérciless cruel murderers are doing in Ukraine ALL revenues go to weapons used for killing millions , torturing , raping etc. They have killed hundreds of millions Throughout the Past AND want continuing doing the same Nonstop . Slava UKRAINI West TAIWÁN TaiwanTalks ALWAYS Slava
you can't do that deep sea eco system will be devastation?
心配ありません。日本はガラス素材の半導体も開発しました。従来のシリコン製半導体4個を切り出す量で49個切り出す事ができます。これからはレアアース自体がそれほどたくさんの量を必要としなくなります。

For most places rare earths can be found all over the places except that refining them is an issue. But for Japan it has to go many kilometres under the sea to find them. Unbelievable.
The rare earth sludge are really magnesium nodules. They produce oxygen thru electrolysis. They take thousands of years to produce. We know nothing.
Rare earths? There's only one earth… Is that a colloquial term? Rare earth metals and minarals seem more accurate.
Democracy/capitalists economics growth happens when they exports and imports are in place like Saudi Arabia sell oil and buy products from trading partners. Examples > USA invent original new product and sell it to the Saudi Arabia like cell phones. China’s rare earth sells it to trading partners make money and buy computers, cell phones, and many others from USA. If China doest sell their products to the trading partners or adversaries, they don’t have much money to buy high quality metals, soybeans, aircraft engines, uranium, softwares, cutting edge technologies, and many others or worse trading partners and adversaries will develop their own and stop selling much needed newly original invented meaningful products to the Chinese. 😂
You china youre not follow international law youre land graver
