In recent years, with changes in the international competitive landscape, China has gradually tightened its control over the export of strategic minerals. Recently, the Office of the National Export Control Coordination Mechanism has deployed a special campaign to combat the smuggling and export of strategic minerals.

How is the international supply-demand pattern? And in which areas do they play a crucial role?
