China's suspension of its October 2025 rare-earth export controls will expire on November 10, 2026, potentially reactivating broad export restrictions amid U.S.-China negotiations centered on critical minerals like yttrium, scandium, and neodymium. China controls multiple stages of the rare-earth supply chain beyond mining, granting it strategic leverage over the production of magnets and alloys essential for EVs, IT, AI, and healthcare industries.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You face a hard deadline on November 10 when China may enforce rare-earth export controls that underpin your supply of critical materials. Start diversifying or building processing capabilities now because the usual reliance on raw mining won’t shield you from Beijing’s chokehold.
