Interesting find - headline... "Japan just found a 'semi-infinite' deposit of rare-earth minerals — and it could be a 'game-changer' in competition with China

Story highlights... "Japan started seeking its own rare-earth mineral deposits after China withheld shipments of the substances amid a dispute over islands that both countries claim as their own, Reuters reported in 2014. ...
A new finding that could change the global economy...
The newly discovered deposit is enough to "supply these metals on a semi-infinite basis to the world," the study's authors wrote in the study. ...
The cache lies off of Minamitori Island, about 1,150 miles southeast of Tokyo. It's within Japan's exclusive economic zone, so the island nation has the sole rights to the resources there. ..."

Markus island is a long way from China and Japan is not the Philippines or Vietnam: they will vigorously dispute any intrusion.
The Chinese get spunky occasionally and do a flyby/cruise by of the islands off Okinawa which are much closer to China. Before they know it they have a JDF F-16 peeking into their windows.

This might better explain POTUS’s trip to Vietnam. Between them, Bolivia, India, and Brazil, we’ll be just fine. China can go find some other huge free market world power customer.
God is good. His timing is perfect.
The mineral deposit is a hydro-thermal vent submerged about a mile below the ocean surface. Will need something like a suction dredge to begin mining.
That’s wonderful news. Stops commie crazies and Iranian Mullahs from bombing the site...
Or under a national park. Might be worth looking into DiFi’s husbands dealings.
North Korea also has massive reserves of rare earth metal ores.
The Clintons were in bed with China and gave them a lot of control over a lot of our mining or we just closed them down
