This led to shortages of critical materials.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Environmental &amp; Regulatory Pressures<br>\u2022 Rare earth mining and processing are environmentally damaging, causing more regulations and slower new development in countries outside China.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\ude97 2.
