"By 2014 or 2015, China will probably be in a net import situation for certain rare earths," said Mark Smith, chief executive of Molycorp. "When the demand is there, that's where the supply has to go. Over 80 percent of the magnets produced in the world come from China and that is growing just tremendously every year," Smith said in a recent interview with Reuters.

A recent article in the China Daily stated that China cut the number of rare earth mining permits by 50 percent to 65 nationwide.
