Geneva-based World Trade Organization (WTO) dismissed a Chinese appeal on 30 January 2012 and upheld its decision that Beijing’s practice of limiting certain raw materials including magnesium should end. Western countries that won the trade dispute over Chinese export restrictions on industrial raw materials, have already set their sights on a new goal: prying open Beijing's restrictive policies on rare earths. However, China is unlikely to budge on these minerals, now sought after by high-tech industries, unless there is a specific new ruling by the World Trade Organization (WTO), expert Jaakko Kooroshy said 31 January 2012.
