China expanded rare earth export controls in Oct 2025, requiring foreign approval for products with Chinese rare earths or tech, mirroring U.S. rules.
In October 2025, China expanded its export controls on rare earth materials, requiring foreign companies to obtain Beijing’s approval before exporting products containing even small amounts of Chinese-origin rare earths or made using Chinese technology.

U.S. officials, including Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, criticized the policy as giving China undue influence over global tech supply chains.
Analysts note China is emulating U.S. tactics like the foreign direct product rule, the Unreliable Entity List, and anti-sanction laws, signaling a deepening pattern of reciprocal economic restrictions between the two nations.
