China Tightens Rare Earth Exports Ahead of Trump-Xi Summit – Markets on Edge
..
China just shook global markets. The country announced new export controls on rare earth materials—critical for semiconductors, AI systems, and defense technology—effective December 1. Foreign companies exporting products containing Chinese-origin rare earths will now need a dual-use license, even if their operations are outside China. This gives Beijing unprecedented control over global supply chains. Geopolitical strategist Velina Tchakarova warns: “China just weaponized rare earths again, globally. Expect disruptions in EVs, semiconductors, turbines, and major price spikes.” Tech and AI stocks could feel the immediate impact, and a risk-off sentiment in these sectors might spill over into the crypto market as investors adjust positions. The timing is no coincidence. The move comes ahead of the expected Trump-Xi meeting at the APEC summit in South Korea. Analysts see it as Beijing signaling leverage in global trade talks. Crypto traders, AI investors, and tech watchers should keep a close eye: supply chain disruptions could hit prices fast, and rare earths are now firmly part of the geopolitical game.#Semiconductors r#RareEarth #ChinaTrade #CryptoMarket #TechStocks
