You have the wrong view of government and jump to a conclusion that hasn't happened and probably won't happen. The mine existed and was profitable until China was able to supply the rare earths cheaper. The problem was a cost factor unrelated to regulation, taxes and fines; the Chinese had cheaper products that stopped the mine. What makes it profitable now is the Chinese have increased their prices and have controlled who they sell to.

This is market dynamics not goverment.
