稀土技术出口管制新规来了，这次亮出的不只是资源牌！

Core Viewpoint - The Ministry of Commerce has officially announced export controls on rare earth-related technologies, which now include not only mining, smelting, and magnetic material manufacturing but also assembly, debugging, and maintenance of production lines. Additionally, any overseas rare earth products containing Chinese materials or technologies, with a Chinese component exceeding 0.1%, will require a license for export, reflecting China's strategic approach to technology protection [1][5]. Group 1 - Rare earths are referred to as industrial vitamins, essential for various high-tech industries, with China being a major player in both reserves and processing technology, accounting for over 80% of separation and purification technology and 90% of high-performance magnetic material production [3]. - There have been instances of foreign organizations illegally acquiring rare earth technologies from China, establishing production facilities abroad, and selling products to military or sensitive sectors. The new regulations aim to close loopholes and provide a dual layer of protection for rare earth technologies [5][6]. - The transition from merely selling rare earth minerals to regulating rare earth technologies is significant, emphasizing that China's rare earth resources are not just raw materials but also encompass advanced technologies and rules governing the industry [8]. Group 2 - The clarified regulations are expected to enhance compliance in international cooperation, as China, being a core node in the global rare earth supply chain, aims to secure technology safety without isolating itself from global markets [9].
