So new twist in a little bit of old news. A bunch of us are getting together to sue China to try and get (get back) greater access to their mineral wealth.
Quote:
China produces 97% of all rare earths, according to the EU. The materials are used in products such as flat-screen televisions, smart phones, hybrid car batteries, wind turbines, energy-efficient lighting, electronics, cars and petroleum.
"Together with the U.S. and Japan, the EU formally requested dispute settlement consultations with China in the World Trade Organization," a statement said.

So what's your take on it?
China's got us all by the happy parts: | 8 (33.3%) | |
Bomb them! Take their oil, erm... metals!: | 3 (12.5%) | |
I'm confident the lawsuit will help them see the error of their ways.: | 1 (4.2%) | |
Ni hao ma?: | 12 (50.0%) | |
Total: | 24 |
Do you think the lawsuit has a chance? Is this an ace in the hole for China? Do they have bigger problems to worry about and we shouldn't be concerned? Time to enroll the children in Mandarin classes?
