14:53 It's so interesting to see that the host who is an Indian Singaporean and the guide who is an Indian Malaysian, basically the same ethnic group but one understands Malay and the other isn't, despite Malay being an official and national language of both Malaysia and Singapore.
As a guy who had dealt with nuclear wastes, I can understand the concern of people in Malaysia and Myanmar. In my early days, I helped design processing plant for precious metals, and strong sulfuric acid and nitric acid were used. What I am not sure of the allegation that sulfuric acid was poured into mines to leach out rare earths. Sulfuric acid costs over $2500 per ton, and pouring on to the mine would be very expensive and toxic fumes coming out would overwhelm the entire area. Leaching is probably done in containers and HEATED to get maximum extraction. If thorium is present in the ores, operators would have another set of problems. Thorium is slightly radioactive. I think the "Illegal" mines in Myanmar have been APPROVED by the authorities, but the activists in Australia are alleging they are illegals. I wish on the phone video shown towards the end, only the Kachin native opinion should count. The Burmese guy (you can tell from his accent) was probably trying to accentuate his opposition to the mines.
32:46 funny how this australian reporter keeps downplaying the lack of radioactive capture facility from lynas for 10 fking years compared to how he freaks out at random photos of illegal mining sites with actual waste storage (albeit poorly built) 😂
This cannot be stopped until there is an alternative to be used in all these high end technological products … the worst part is that it’s mainly found in a country like china which is like a treasure in hands of devil … the content was well presented by Karthik I love the humour side added to it
Chinese regime never learns. It's repeating the same mistake again, although it realized the mistake against Japan using rare earths as a political tool in 2010
I don't know what you try to said. Is that exactly what USA's chip war on China? Those restriction on advance microship (< 7nm ) making machine, in the end will make China eventfully flood the low-end chip (>=28 nm) on world market, (which used in most of electronics, except most advanced smartphone) . Because huge funds back by Chinese governments have no way to go to. So there is no bearing when come to erratic decision making, by an authoritarian regime or a "demarcate" country
Vietnam 🇻🇳 is the best alternative to China, including rare earths. Vietnam has very large deposits of these and can offer the world, including the US, whatever China can.
People out there risking their lives and we waste their efforts without thinking 😢💔

@@blueshirt26 wow almost as if Malay isn’t taught to non Malays in Singapore

Jonathan Liljeblad, Associate Professor at the ANU College of Law gives his expert opinion and science demonstrations on rare earth mining.
23:18 to find out that Lynas is an Australian company lmfao 😂😂😂 ironic
32:46 funny how this australian reporter keeps downplaying the lack of radioactive capture facility from lynas for 10 fking years compared to how he freaks out at random photos of illegal mining sites with actual waste storage (albeit poorly built) 😂
36:29 and guess what? the country behind the radioactive incident in the 90s is ofc investing in Lynas!!! 😂

Thank you!
25:27 he speak a mixture of Standard Malay and Terengganuan language which is native to Kuantan, Pahang.
Might want to ask Lynas and the Kalgorie council about water
why is bro so zesty but overall good video
Technology is going to destroy our precious Earth.
😂 Mainly Rare Earths for F-35 in U$A , no Rare Earths mean no F-35
Can U$A allow to reduce ?
🙏
There’re many more rare earth mines outside Asia.
It’s only a matter of licensing, extraction & cost
Chinese regime never learns. It's repeating the same mistake again,
although it realized the mistake against Japan using rare earths as a political tool in 2010
what mistake? didn’t japan stop selling china critical parts?

And now Albo is bring back rare earth refinery to be build and mined in Australia😢
If CNA "care" about humanitarian , dare CNA to do a "honest" report on "G$$$A$$$Z$$$A" .
ah the 2 American bots.
There must be corruption involved in Lynas (Msia). It is in Malaysia. Aputhen? LOL.

🤣Still Chinese company in the background
Your anti China stance has made you stupid.. Wait.. You are stupid
suddenly no body cares that viêt nam is also a communist country.
Unfortunately, the idiot commies of VN will allow anyone to destroy its land for a few cheap bucks,
China.
