China experienced a remarkable 23% increase in rare earth exports in May, totaling 5,864 tonnes, marking the highest monthly total in a year. Despite implementing export restrictions on certain minerals, this surge occurred amidst global production setbacks due to shortages linked to these curbs. From January to May 2025, total exports of 17 rare earth minerals rose slightly to 24,827 tonnes compared to the same period in 2024, even as China's coal industry struggles with oversupply and rising stockpiles.
