China tightens rare-earth export controls, heightening risk to U.S. military and aerospace supply chains China announced new export restrictions on rare-earth elements and related technologies, a move that concentrates supply risk for magnets and components used across aerospace, defense and space systems. The controls increase pressure on U.S. military supply chains and raise procurement and production risks for OEMs and prime contractors.
