520    "The United States economy, and especially its 
       manufacturing sector, is dependent on the supply of raw 
       and semi-finished materials used to make products. While 
       the United States has extensive mineral resources and is a
       leading global materials producer, a high percentage of 
       many materials critical to U.S. manufacturing are imported,
       sometimes from a country that has the dominant share of a 
       material's global production and export. This report 
       specifically identifies 14 critical materials for which 
       production is concentrated in countries with weak 
       governance, as indicated by the World Governance 
       Indicators published by the World Bank. China is the 
       controlling producer of 11 of these critical raw materials,
       nine of which have been identified as having high economic
       importance and high supply risk. As its market share and 
       domestic consumption of critical materials has grown, 
       China has instituted production controls, export 
       restrictions, mine closings, and company consolidations 
       that have led to two-tier pricing, which creates pressure 
       to move manufacturing to China and contributes to strong 
       price increases for these materials on the world market. 
       To mitigate the impact of these market distortions on the 
       global manufacturing sector, this report suggests the need
       for actions that (1) increase resiliency to supply 
       disruptions or market distortions and (2) provide early 
       warning of developing problems concerning the 
       concentration of production."--Page 4 of cover.
