US trade officials say they are looking into a New York Times report that China is blocking shipments of rare earths to the US and Europe.
China mines 97% of the specialist metals crucial to green technology.
The report, citing anonymous industry sources, said Chinese customs officials had broadened export restrictions.
Menawhile China's commerce ministry has denied a report by the official China Daily that it will cut quotas by 30% next year to stop overmining.
"The report is completely false," the ministry said in a statement.
