The owner of the green map of the United States put in jail 16 sec

Chinese application To stifle the supply of the world of heavy elements, I was going to hit the wall. Vietnamese Entrepreneur Luu An Tuan lined up on a substrate for technology, which could break involved in Beijing on critical minerals behind everything from smartphones to missile systems.

Tuan and his family escaped in Vietnam to avoid the conquered Beijing’s engagement over Hanoi, where the Communist Party of China has a great impact on internal control.

In July 2023, he signed an agreement on the transfer of technology, which Vietnam Digital, which was recognized by Fox News Digital, to bring the great division technology he used in his company based on Vietnam, Vietnam Redeer Earth (Vtre), VTRU Corporation. Vtre also signed a number of Memorandum (CU) agreements with Western companies.

“He had a bad sense of uncertainty about being in Vietnam. He was determined to convey his technology to the US as soon as possible,” the source said with rare land, gave anonymity to speak, without fear of retribution, Fox News Digital.

At the time, the world was completely dependent on Chinese companies to separate its heavy metals rare land.

“China really has been working for most of the more than 20 years on the construction of this domination,” said Basquera, director of the Critical Fitching Center at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in an interview.

And while companies such as American MPs and Australia, Lynas are in the process of developing their own Division TechnologyChina still controls up to 90% of the rare land and processing capacity and more than half mining.

In October 2023, Tuan, then a permanent US resident and a green card owner in the process of becoming a citizen, returned to his office of Hanoi, when Vietnam’s authorities searched the building, capturing all laptops and records. Seventeen employees were arrested, according to American business partner Tanan Richard Dongham, and all but one, Han Huong, Sister Tuana and Vtre director have been released since then.

The arrest took place shortly after President Joe Biden visited Vietnam and signed cooperation agreements on a rare land mineral.

In December, China banned the production and separation of rare land in that the industry saw as another effort to keep a monopoly on the market.

“When China has invested in these restrictions, it really made countries like the United States and Australia, they realize that they do not even have technical know-how to do it themselves,” Basqueran said.

“The process itself is just very time consuming and very toxic,” said Josh Birenbaum, mineral expert at the Democracy Defense Fund, adding that China has taken the market through state subsidies and ecological problems.

While in the US there is one large mine rare land, a mountain passage of deputies, so far, the company exported these rare land to China for separation. Trading war and export controls, which followed that pushed the United States to accumulate rare peoples until scale.

Tuan was charged with fake tax receipt with the value added during the trade of rare land with the Thai Duon Group working in a mine in the Northern Vietnamese province.

Vtre collaborated with Australian mining companies Australian strategic material and Blackstone Minerals Ltd. Tuan and Dunham also met with the NEVAR State officials and the Energy Department to discuss plans to bring division technology in the US through Vtre. According to Danham, both were “captured” about the proposal, which eventually led to the signing of the transfer agreement.

The arrest also came when Vietnam prepared for the auction “Dong PAO”. According to Danham, Vtre, supported by Western partners, was the only qualified participant of the competition.

This year, Tuan pleaded guilty to exchange for a lighter term. He spends 16 years in prison with $ 10 million, but his fans say he was “forced”. Huong was sentenced to six years in prison.

“We believe that these accusations are manipulated, the accusations founded by the state subjects of the Vietnamese who have rebuilt themselves with China,” Dongham said. “He was tortured to get the blame.”

Tuan’s defenders say the company he purchased at Ore, Thai Dwang refused to provide the invoice at the actual rate that Vtre paid for ore. It provided only the accounts -the information that claimed that it sold ore at lower speeds, reducing its taxable income.

According to Danham, Thai Duong refused to issue accounts that reflect the actual price of VTRA sales, allegedly to avoid environmental, natural resources and income taxes, obligations that fell on Thailand, not on the toilet.

Tuan faced the choice: to accept the invoices with a low level and to make tax differences with his own money, or to allow it to the project funded by the state, and, in turn, its business, will fall apart, for Dongham.

Despite the fact that Tuan was convicted in the criminal case, Danham said that violation of accounting rules had no evidence of criminal intent.

“Even if he was guilty of the question in Vietnam Whether it was a problem with this type of sentence. This is completely unheard of. Usually you paid a fine and all. “

“He is the only person outside China, who has a fully integrated rare earth company, which from mining to metalization; in other words, from digging from the ground to the manufacture of magnets.”

Tuan was also convicted of smuggling the rare land of materials, but customs documents show the registration of 63 supplies of mixtures with sharp rare land in accordance with the 2846 tax code, which corresponds to the rare land. According to Danham, the court incorrectly classified exports to the 2530 Tax Code (raw material) to say that they were illegal.

The investigation into the Vietnam Ministry of Public Security has concluded that customs officers who signed 63 export declarations on Vtre confirmed to Tuan.

Since then, China’s repression has only accelerated. Mineral experts were ordered to submit passports to prevent them from sharing any technology outside the country. Beijing has intensified control over the export of rare land, causing serious problems within the US defense industry. While China allowed them to flow again during trade negotiations with the Trump administration, they remain prohibited for defense purposes.

According to Danham, Vtre has developed technology to produce heavy rare land oxide from xenati, monosate and ion absorption clay in cleanliness 95% through the solvent extraction system. The technology was able to handle a variety of ore types and process NDFEB magnets.

According to Tanan’s supporters, the requests for assistance from the US government were not fruitful.

Tuan is essentially disconnected from their family and lawyers. He saw family members about five times after his arrest almost two years ago.
