5x expanded by Celiayangyy (talk). Nominated by Graeme Bartlett (talk) at 04:22, 18 November 2017 (UTC).

Article is new enough, long enough (recent 5x expansion), and well referenced. QPQ is done. No copyvio detected. However, both hooks are problematic. I've stricken the main hook as it's not supported by the article. China's REE monopoly is not 100%, as the chart shows, therefore it cannot be concluded that every single TV contains REE from China. ALT1 needs some modification: as written it appears that China had a monopoly but not any more, even though the article says it still enjoys a monopoly. -Zanhe (talk) 02:24, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

- ALT2:... that the North China Craton (map illustrated) was partially destroyed by thinning? Source: Zhu, Ri-Xiang; Yang, Jin-Hui; Wu, Fu-Yuan (2012). "Timing of destruction of the North China Craton"
- ALT3:... that diamonds from the China Diamond Corps' 701 Changma Mine in the North China Craton (map illustrated) are worth $40 per carat?
- Alternatively I could write a hook about gold. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 03:46, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
