China's Rare Earth Control: Impact on US Military & Supply Chains
Update: 2025-11-11
Description
Chinas New Rare Earth Strategy: A Threat to U.S. Military Supply ChainsChina is reportedly planning to control the flow of critical materials, like rare earths, to the U.S. military. This move could significantly impact American defense industries and their supply chains. The Chinese government plans to create a validated end-user system, which would block companies with ties to the U.S. military from receiving these essential rare earth materials. This system could make it even harder for U.S. companies that serve both civilian and defense clients to get these materials. Rare earths are vital for many products, from everyday electronics to advanced military equipment. China is currently the worlds largest supplier of these materials, and theyve used this dominance as a key point in their ongoing trade discussions with the United States. In response, Washington has been exploring other options for rare earth supplies, even signing a deal with Australia recently.
