Beijing has hinted at hurting the United States with restrictions on rare earth elements.
China will tighten reporting controls on strategic rare earth elements, according to its Commerce Ministry, in a move that could choke off America's supply of critical minerals used in the production of electric cars and missiles.The ministry said on Tuesday that exporters of rare earth elements would need to report their shipment orders, although no limitations were announced at the time.
Rare metals aren't the only items on Beijing's growing list of strategic targets; the Commerce Ministry has also asked importers of iron ore, copper ore concentrate and potash fertilizer to report their orders.In July, China imposed export restrictions on two rare earth minerals—gallium and germanium—which are crucial for semiconductor manufacturing. The decision was seen as a counterblow to Washington's controls on China's access to high-end computer chips.
