Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that China is the dominant producer of rare earth elements?

Yes. Multiple peer-reviewed and reference sources state that China is the dominant or largest producer of rare earth elements, with one giving over 90% of globally used rare earth metals. A few items cover only narrower slices, such as heavy rare earths or dysprosium supply.
