EU says bloc must 'step up' against China's rare earths 'racket'
The European Union must ramp up efforts to break its dependence on China for rare earths faced with export curbs that amount to a "racket" by Beijing, the bloc's industry chief said Tuesday.
"It is high time for Europe to step up its game. To redouble its efforts to reduce our dependencies on China," European Commission vice president Stephane Sejourne told EU lawmakers.
