China's announcement of new rules clamping down on the flow of rare earths used in everything from computer chips to cars to missiles takes a leaf from the U.S. playbook on technology controls. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/20/world/politics/china-rare-earth-restrictions-us/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #rareearths #xijinping #china #exports #tech #us #donaldtrump #trade #tariffs

China’s rare earth restrictions aim to beat U.S. at its own game

The impacts of the Chinese licensing system would be much broader than U.S. technology controls, which have targeted only more advanced computer chips.
