The US didn't lose control of rare earth metals by accident. We sold the extraction technology to China in the 1970s, deliberately offshored manufacturing, and for 45 years trained the world's best chemists — many of whom are now professors at China's top universities.
A chemist who has worked alongside Chinese students since 1981 explains exactly how this happened: why the US handed over rare earth processing, how critical metal dependency crept in, and why the solution to our supply chain problem is already sitting in mountains of discarded data center circuit boards.
