China's Rare Earth Magnet Export Controls Resume November 10

China's one-year suspension of rare earth magnet export controls expires on November 10, 2026, while the US DFARS ban on Chinese-origin magnets takes effect January 1, 2027. Analysts at EUISS and Adamas Intelligence say US investment in domestic mining cannot replace China's decades of manufacturing expertise.
