China's curbs on rare earth exports will lead to a painful disruption in an inter-connected world
-
NAN INTERCONNECTED global economy, disruptions in one corner have effects across continents, and China's recent export restrictions on rare earth elements (REE) are a stark reminder of this reality.
Announced as a countermeasure to US tariffs, these restrictions target seven critical REEs and magnets, halting shipments worldwide due to a delayed licensing system. It threatens the global supply chain, which has become intricately linked in contemporary times, hurting not just the US but every nation reliant on these materials for technology, automotive, and defence industries. The global supply chain's fragility was exposed in 2022 when Russia's attack on Ukraine disrupted neon and palladium supplies, crippling semiconductor production and delaying everything from cars to smartphones.
