China’s sweeping rare-earth export controls to take effect December 1
China will require licenses for most rare-earth exports starting December 1, raising global supply concerns.
China announced that from December 1 exporters must obtain licenses for products containing Chinese-processed rare-earth materials. The policy targets advanced alloys and magnets used in EVs, defense, and semiconductors. Analysts say the move could disrupt global supply chains and raise costs for U.S. and European manufacturers. Officials said the rules are aimed at ‘protecting national security and resource sustainability.’ (FT)
