China is the controlling producer of 11 of these materials and has instituted export restrictions that have led to two-tier pricing, creating pressure to move manufacturing to China. This report suggests the need for actions to mitigate the impact of such market distortions on the global manufacturing sector. 606 $aStrategic materials$zUnited States 606 $aRaw materials$zUnited States 606 $aManufacturing industries$zUnited States 615 0$aStrategic materials 615 0$aRaw materials 615 0$aManufacturing industries 676 $a333.80973 700 $aSilberglitt$b R.
