-China to buy rare earths from U.S. as part of trade pact-

(Reuters) - China has agreed to buy two types of rare earth metals from the United States as part of an initial trade deal inked on Wednesday, a move likely to boost U.S. production of the strategic minerals.

The agreement, signed in Washington by Chinese Vice Premier Liu He and U.S. President Donald Trump, gives China two years to ramp up purchases of hundreds of U.S. products, including scandium and yttrium, two of the 17 rare earths commonly used in lighting and computers.

According to this, they’re buying from the U.S.
Or, perhaps they’re buying it from themselves while using U.S. Patent-protected technologies.

The U.S. has a lot of that. As does China..
