According to a Reuters report, the Malaysian government revealed on the 27th that it has the prospect of obtaining rare earth (rare metal) processing technical support from China. This support will be limited to state-owned related enterprises. Malaysia is striving to enhance its rare earth mining and processing capabilities as global demand for important minerals used in semiconductor chips, electric vehicles (EV), and military equipment is surging.
China, which leads globally in this field, has implemented export controls on some processing technologies, reinforcing its stance to maintain its own advantages.
Acting Minister of Natural Resources and Sustainable Development of Malaysia, Johari Abdul Ghani, said: "Technology protection is very important for China," and explained: "The Chinese government requires that the support be limited to state-owned related enterprises." The current negotiations are still in the initial stage and no agreement has been reached yet.
