2 h. ago State rare earth giant throws support behind China’s broad export controls

One of China’s largest producers of rare earth elements has pledged to “strictly enforce government guidance” on export controls, a show of support from a major industry player as US officials harshly criticise Beijing’s recent expansion of licensing requirements for the crucial minerals.

18 h. ago China’s rare earth export control regime is blowback from US policy

To justify his threat of a 100 per cent tariff on imports from China, US President Donald Trump framed China’s tightening of its export controls on rare earths as “hostile”. However, Beijing’s expanded rules are a direct and reasonable response to the Trump administration’s relentless campaign of ratcheting up restrictions on Chinese companies and exports. On September 12, just two days before US-China trade talks in Madrid, Spain, the US blacklisted 23 Chinese institutions. On September 25,...

7 d. ago China’s rare earth export controls have gone global. Can it enforce them?

As more countries begin formulating contingency plans for their stocks of rare earth elements, analysts said China’s tightening control over its near-monopoly status in the supply and refining capacity of the minerals – an action taken as part of Beijing’s broader trade conflict with the US – could face challenges in enforcement. Last week, China announced a sweeping expansion of its export control regime as it relates to rare earth elements – raw materials that are crucial components in the...

China’s expansion of its rare earth export controls appeared to mark another escalation in the US-China trade war last week. But the announcements were also significant in another way: unusually, the documents could not be opened using American word processing software. For the first time, China’s Ministry of Commerce issued a slew of documents that could be directly accessed only through WPS Office – China’s answer to Microsoft Office – as Beijing continues its tech self-reliance...
