Labour Together warns that the UK must mitigate its vulnerability to China's critical minerals supply chains by building partnerships with other nations to enhance security.
Data indicates that while China extracts approximately 70% of the world's rare earth metals, the UK risks being overly reliant without a robust strategy for critical minerals.
The report emphasizes engagement with China on mining standards instead of outright confrontation, advocating for collaboration to improve environmental and labor practices.
With a new strategy on critical minerals set for spring, there's urgency for the UK to align its industrial approach to ensure it doesn't falter post-Brexit.
