China assures US on key 'rare earth' minerals

China has told the US it will continue to be a "reliable supplier" of so-called "rare earth" minerals, key to the global high-tech industry.

China recently suspended export of the metals to Japan following a diplomatic spat.

But the US has pressed China, which has pledged not to use the minerals as a diplomatic weapon, to defuse the row.
