President Xi Jinping’s September 24 visit to Washington is rapidly becoming a critical test of America’s access to Chinese rare earths, processing technology and other strategically important materials. In the latest Critical Minerals Report Podcast hosted by Tracy Hughes, Executive Director of the Critical Minerals Institute (CMI), CMI Co-Chairs Jack Lifton and Melissa “Mel” Sanderson examined what Xi’s meeting with President Donald Trump could mean for the global critical minerals supply chain. The discussion followed reports that some Chinese rare earth suppliers have stopped shipping to American customers even after receiving valid export licences. There is no evidence that Beijing ordered those refusals. The decisions nevertheless demonstrate that regulatory approval does not guarantee delivery when suppliers fear political repercussions or sudden changes in Chinese policy. Hughes asked Lifton whether the suppliers’ behaviour could provide an early indication of what China intends to do after the current export control suspensions expire. Lifton said producers may be acting independently to avoid having approved shipments trapped at Chinese ports or exposed to a policy reversal. “This is absolutely unofficial,” Lifton said. “It’s just based on what I see in the world of trade.” Sanderson offered a second interpretation. With few alternative sources available to Western manufacturers, slowing the movement of Chinese material before the September meeting could strengthen Beijing’s negotiating position. “By squeezing those pipelines ahead of that negotiation, it could be seen as an attempt to exert additional pressure on the White House,” she said. The distinction is important because the evidence does not indicate a new blanket embargo. Some licences continue to be approved and some material continues to move. However, the White House said after the presidents’ May meeting that China would address American concerns involving shortages of yttrium, scandium, neodymium and indium, along with restrictions on rare earth production and processing technologies. Continued uncertainty shows the distance between a diplomatic commitment and dependable commercial supply. Hughes then turned the conversation to the two deadlines following Xi’s visit. China’s suspension of its broader October 2025 export control measures is scheduled to expire on November 10. Those measures cover additional rare earth materials, production equipment, processing technology, certain overseas rare earth transactions, superhard materials and specified battery and artificial graphite products. A second suspension expires on November 27. It concerns measures applying specifically to the United States, including controls involving gallium, germanium, antimony, superhard dual use materials and additional scrutiny of graphite exports. China’s prohibition on supplying dual use items to American military users or for military purposes was not suspended and remains in force. For Lifton, the potential loss of Chinese processing expertise presents an even greater danger than the loss of raw materials. “Much worse than us not getting the raw materials is us not getting the processing technology,” he said. A mineral deposit can be identified and financed more quickly than a separation process can be perfected, a metallurgical plant commissioned or a magnetic material qualified by an industrial customer. If China adopts a harder position in November, the greatest American vulnerability may be the absence of the equipment, technical knowledge and operating experience required to convert minerals into commercially useful products. Lifton described the underlying contest as one between an American system that reacts to market developments and a Chinese system that plans industrial outcomes over decades. “We react to situations,” he said. “The Chinese government is proactive. They plan for the very long term.” Sanderson agreed that China’s long term planning provides it with a structural advantage, but she argued that the United States should not attempt simply to reproduce the Chinese model. Western countries must instead use their strengths in innovation, finance, advanced manufacturing and international partnerships to develop different ways of building competitive supply chains. “We’re not going to beat China by doing what China is doing,” she said. “We’re going to beat China by finding different ways to do these things.” To read the full column, go to: https://bit.ly/4ijweFp #RareEarths #CriticalMinerals #xijinping #USChinaTrade
