Chinese rare earth suppliers are reportedly declining to ship critical minerals to the United States. 🇨🇳 🇺🇸

Rare earth elements are indispensable for manufacturing advanced American defense systems, including fighter jets, submarine sonar, and precision guided smart weapons like JDAM kits.

🇯🇵🚨 Japan's dysprosium imports just collapsed 82%, falling to ZERO in four separate months this year. China's rare earth squeeze is now hitting EVs, chip tools, and even AI infrastructure fiber optics. 🧵

📉 The Numbers Are Staggering

Two critical rare-earth products fell to levels in the first half of 2026, per a Nikkei analysis of Japanese Ministry of Finance trade data .

⚡ Dysprosium: just 13 tons imported Jan-June 2026, down 82% YoY, imports hit ZERO in January, February, May, and June

🔬 Yttrium: 204 tons imported, down 74%, the lowest level on record, even below the 2013 Senkaku-dispute trough of 235 tons

💰 European dysprosium prices have risen sevenfold since China's April 2025 export controls began

🏭 Real Companies, Real Pain

This isn't abstract, named Japanese manufacturers are already feeling it:

🔧 Mitsui Kinzoku, opened a rare-earth sales office in China's Liaoning province in April, now says it "could become an option" to close it if yttrium feedstock shortages persist

🧲 Proterial (magnet maker), dysprosium export licenses secured through November 2025, but zero new licenses approved as of July

🥽 AGC (glass/coatings), no disruption yet, but actively evaluating non-Chinese yttrium alternatives

Many Japanese firms are now simply drawing down inventories to keep customer deliveries alive.

🌏 The Trade Flow Shift Is the Real Story

China's rare earth exports to Japan fell 43.8% YoY as of June, while shipments to the Netherlands surged 121.4% in the same period, fueling speculation Beijing is prioritizing supply to protect semiconductor equipment cooperation with the Dutch .

🛰️ Now Spreading to AI Infrastructure

Erbium, a niche rare earth used in fiber-optic cables for AI data infrastructure, has jumped 50% in Europe and 40%+ in China since early June, as traders and end users stockpile ahead of possible tighter Chinese controls when the US-China trade truce expires at year-end .

🌊 Japan's Response

Tokyo isn't standing still: PM Takaichi has ordered prep work for a commercial-scale deep-sea rare earth demonstration near Minamitorishima by 2027, and Sojitz is exploring new Southeast Asian mines with Australia's Lynas. Yttrium is now sourced from 12 non-China countries, up from just 3 in 2024, but volumes still aren't enough .

⚠️ The Bottom Line

Downstream chip-tool production hasn't broken yet, but every company in this chain is running on fumes from drawn-down inventory, not fresh supply. If China tightens further at year-end, "not yet a bottleneck" could flip fast. 👀

⚡🌏 How did China win the rare earths race? Simple, the West quit. This 9-min video is the best simple explainer you'll see. 🧵👇

☢️ It started with the Manhattan Project

🔹 In the 1940s, separating uranium taught America how to separate rare earths

🔹 The US invented the l production for decades

🧪 "Rare" earths aren't rare, separating them is

🔹 Copper: ~7 refining processes. Nickel: ~20
🔹 Separating the full suite of 17 rare earths: THOUSANDS of processes
🔹 Energy-hungry, waste-heavy, and brutally hard to master

🏜️ Mountain Pass: the mine that had it all

🔹 One California mine made the US the world's rare earth superpower
🔹 Then radioactive wastewater leaked from pipes running 14 miles across the desert
🔹 Scandal → shutdown → "why are we even doing this here?"

🐉 China didn't take the industry. The West handed it over

🔹 Refining is dirty — neodymium is more carbon-intensive to produce than steel, copper, nickel or cobalt
🔹 America offshored the mess. China mastered the chemistry
🔹 Four decades later, Beijing controls the choke point

🧲 And it's all about magnets

🔹 NdFeB, the strongest permanent magnets on Earth, no contest
🔹 They're in your AirPods, wind turbines, EV motors, drones
🔹 Drones are the next chapter of warfare. No magnets, no motors

♟️ Now it sits at the top of geopolitics

🔹 When Trump met Xi, rare earths led the agenda
🔹 Tariff threats answered with export controls, that's leverage
🔹 The irony: Mountain Pass is now restarting, chasing the industry America gave away

China didn't win the race. The West walked off the track. 👀
