China took a page out of the US export control playbook with its latest move on rare earths. Europe may join the game of copycat with tech transfer rules https://t.co/ri7VwZzizY ...

中国商务部新闻发言人就近期中方相关经贸政策措施情况答记者问：中国的（稀土）出口管制不是禁止出口，对符合规定的申请将予以许可。中方事先已就措施可能对产供链产生的影响进行了充分评估，并确信相关影响非常有限。措施出台前，中方已通过双边出口管制对话机制向各有关国家和地区进行了通报。9月中美马德里经贸会谈以来，短短20多天时间，美方持续新增出台一系列对华限制措施，将多家中国实体列入出口管制实体清单和特别指定国民清单；通过穿透性规则任意扩大受管制企业范围，影响中方数千家企业；无视中方关切和善意，执意落地对华海事、物流和造船业301措施。美方的行为严重损害中方利益，严重破坏双方经贸会谈氛围，中方对此坚决反对。中方的反制措施（对涉美船舶收取船舶特别港务费）是必要的被动防御行为，旨在维护中国产业和企业正当权益，也为了维护国际航运和造船市场的公平竞争环境。 ...

Trade Restrictions - China's new rare-earth material restrictions represent a nearly unprecedented export control [1] - The restrictions have the potential to disrupt the global economy [1]

Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly provide an investment rating for the rare earth industry but emphasizes China's strategic leverage over the supply chain as a significant factor in trade negotiations [1][3]. Core Insights - China's control over rare earth supply is a calibrated tool for strategic influence, with a near-monopoly in the supply chain, making rare earths a significant bargaining chip in trade negotiations [1][3]. - Recent changes in China's export controls on rare earth elements, particularly on seven heavier elements, indicate a shift towards using rare earths as a strategic lever amid rising trade tensions and technology restrictions [2][4]. - The report highlights that China currently controls over 85% of global rare earth refining and 90% of NdFeB magnet production, which are critical for various advanced technologies [12]. Summary by Sections Export Controls and Strategic Leverage - China has imposed export controls on seven heavier rare earth elements and their processed products since April 2025, which are essential for modern manufacturing processes [2][4]. - The tightening of export licenses allows Beijing to regulate the volume, destination, and end-use of rare earth materials, enhancing its ability to exert targeted influence [11]. - An export tracking system is being developed to strengthen oversight of finished magnet exports, indicating a systematic approach to control [11]. Market Share and Production Capacity - China holds a dominant market share across the rare earth supply chain, with significant control over mining, refining, and magnet production [7][12]. - The report notes that while mining capacity can be expanded relatively easily, refining and magnet production face technological and environmental challenges, making them harder to replace [14][15][16]. Geopolitical Implications - The current rare earth controls are seen as a mechanism for testing strategic responses to tech restrictions imposed by the US and its allies, aiming to reshape global tech and trade dynamics [13]. - The report suggests that China's actions may lead to reciprocal escalations in trade policies, particularly in response to restrictions on technology exports from the US [13]. Recent Developments - Since the implementation of export controls, several magnet producers have received export permits, indicating a gradual resumption of exports to key markets [17][18]. - The report highlights that while magnets are subject to export controls, motors containing them are not, allowing for alternative production strategies [19].

Summary of Key Points from the BIS Policy Statement on Advanced Computing Integrated Circuits Industry and Company Involvement - The document pertains to the **Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)** and its regulations regarding **advanced computing integrated circuits (ICs)** and their use in training **AI models** [1][2]. Core Points and Arguments - **Export Authorization Requirement**: Activities involving advanced computing ICs and commodities for training AI models may require export authorization under the **Export Administration Regulations (EAR)**, particularly for end uses related to military-intelligence and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in **Country Group D:5** countries, including **China** and **Macau** [1]. - **License Triggers**: A license may be required if there is "knowledge" that the AI model will be used for WMD or military-intelligence purposes [2]. - **Definition of Training**: Training AI models involves feeding large data quantities into the model and using optimization algorithms to enhance performance [3]. - **Knowledge Requirement**: Exporters must be aware that their products will be used for training AI models for parties in D:5 countries, which includes restrictions on transactions with **Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)** providers [4]. - **Consequences of Non-compliance**: Parties failing to obtain prior BIS authorization may face civil or criminal enforcement actions. Additionally, foreign entities that contravene U.S. national security interests may be added to the **Entity List** [5]. - **Prohibition on Transactions**: Transactions cannot proceed if there is knowledge of a potential violation of the EAR. Companies must conduct due diligence to evaluate potential risks associated with their transactions [6]. Other Important Considerations - **Red Flags and Due Diligence**: BIS has provided guidance on identifying transactional and behavioral red flags, emphasizing the importance of due diligence in assessing whether a party may be involved in activities that could trigger a BIS license requirement [6].
