Abstract
Three weeks before President Trump and China’s President Xi Jinping’s October meeting in South Korea, China announced a sweeping expansion of export controls on rare earths and related technologies—including new license requirements for exports of foreign-produced rare earth items manufactured using Chinese-origin technologies or containing Chinese-controlled content. These announcements sent shock waves across the globe, threatening to disrupt global supply chains for rare earths that are critical to industries such as electrical vehicles, semiconductors, and defense.
