China Halts Rare Earth Sales to Japan Over Fisherman's Detention, NYT Says

By Jim McDonald - 2010-09-23T02:56:46Z

China’s government has put an embargo on sales to Japan of rare earths, minerals used in hybrid cars and electrics parts, because of a dispute over detention of a fishing captain, the New York Times reported today, citing industry figures it didn’t name.

Chinese customs halted mineral shipments because Japan has refused to free a Chinese fishing captain who is being held after his boat collided with coast guard vessels in waters near islands claimed by both nations, according to the report.
