For June 2025, data showed that China exported 353 tonnes of rare-earth magnets to the USA, representing a 669% surge compared to May 2025. Altogether, China exported 3,188 tonnes of rare-earth magnets in June 2025, but the amount is 38% lower compared to June 2024. As part of the 90-day trade truce, the US is lifting restrictions on the export of advanced AI chips such as the Nvidia H20 to China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, the US represented more than 11% of Chinese exports in this category of #CriticalMinerals<\/a> for jet engines, smartphones, medical devices, wind turbines and even electric vehicles (#EV<\/a>). The US is the 2nd largest destination market of Chinese Rare Earth behind Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although rare earth elements (REE) are not actually that rare, the fact is their extraction and refining is quite a complex task. With 70% of the mining and 90% of the refining 90% of the rare earth elements in the world, China controls the global supply chain for REE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, Tesla reported that its production of EV and humanoid robots have been disrupted to to the shortage of strong and compact magnets made from rare earth elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, affected industries have urged their governments to develop domestic capabilities for rare-earth. As the process is quite messy and intricate, experts believe that it might take years to ramp up an alternative supply chain for rare earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another alternative being pushed is to promote the recycling of Rare Earths. In June 2025, Apple and MP Materials announced they are partnering to invest USD 500 million in a recycling facility do just that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EU was also hit by the export restriction of rare earth by China. The retaliation is tit-for-tat response for the EU’s decision to hike tariffs on Chinese EU, which the EU views as ‘dumping’ and a threat to its local auto industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
