Which department was involved in stealing rare earths first?

Hello! I'm glad to have the opportunity to answer your questions.

Illegal exploitation of rare earths should first be investigated and dealt with by the Natural Resources Bureau.

As we all know, rare earth is a very precious mineral resource, and illegal exploitation of rare earth resources is illegal and will be investigated by law. Generally speaking, the Bureau of Mineral Resources should participate in the investigation and handling of illegal exploitation of rare earth resources. If the circumstances are minor and require administrative punishment, the illegal income shall be confiscated, and the Bureau of Mineral Resources shall impose a fine and order it to stop illegal mining and restore to its original state. Anyone suspected of committing a crime will be handed over to the public security organ for investigation.
