Myanmar
KIA to allow rare earth mineral exports to China
A Myanmar rebel group, the Kachin Independence Army (KIA), has announced that it will allow the export of existing rare earth minerals to China starting from Thursday, March 27. The KIA will impose a tax of 35,000 yuan ($4,800) per ton on these exports. This decision comes after the KIA took control of a key rare earth mining region in Myanmar last October, leading to a sharp decline in China's imports of rare earth minerals from Myanmar and a resulting price increase.
