RE: Chinese REE restrictions effect on EU Car Makers6 Jun 2025 00:30
The secretive, private big commodity trader group bought what was left of the Noble Group Ltd a few months ago.
I put a question to the Chinese AI Qwen on how long the curbs on Chinese Rare Earths may last and this was the final summary of the answer:
"Curbs on rare earth exports from China are expected to continue for at least 5–10 years , and possibly longer, as China retains strategic control over the supply chain. However, global efforts to develop alternative sources and reduce dependency are gaining momentum and could gradually lessen the impact over time."
Amongst goods affected are:
Electric vehicles (EVs)
Wind turbines
Smartphones
Missiles and defense systems
Semiconductors
Consumer electronics
