China's magnet exports to US slammed in May as Beijing's rare earth curbs hit: data

The volume of China's export shipments of magnets to the US, a chokepoint in the ongoing trade war between the world's two largest economies, plunged in volume by 93.3 per cent in May, year on year, according to the latest customs data. Advertisement China exported around 46.4 tonnes of magnets to the US last month. It was also a sharp month-on-month decline of 81 per cent from 246.3 tonnes shipped in April. The total export of magnets, which dominate China's critical minerals shipments, fell by nearly 74.3 per cent, year on year, in volume last month, and declined more than 76.1 per cent in value, according to data released on Friday. The drastic decline in exports – following export controls imposed by Beijing to counter Washington's sweeping tariffs on Chinese goods – has piled pressure on US manufacturers in the defence, energy and automotive sectors. Meanwhile, exports to Germany, Europe's manufacturing powerhouse, dropped last month by 70 per cent in volume, year on year, while shipments to Japan fell by 84.1 per cent. Advertisement Addressing the highly watched export controls of critical minerals, China's Ministry of Commerce spokesperson, He Yadong, said on Thursday that the country has been accelerating the review of rare earth-related export licence applications in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, and has approved a number of them. 'China is willing to enhance communication and dialogue with relevant countries on export controls and actively promote the facilitation of compliant trade,' He added.

Facing multiple crises, China is stressing resilient governance over ideology

Chinese President Xi Jinping recently commemorated the 120th birth anniversary of Chen Yun, one of the foundational economic planners of the Communist Party of China. Amid the commemoration's celebratory tone, Xi's speech signals a rhetorical shift. The references to communist conviction so prominent in the 2015 address delivered for Chen's 110th birthday were relatively sparse in Xi's remarks from earlier this month. Instead, there was polished language relating to development planning and political resilience. In 2015, Xi's speech commemorating Chen Yun's 110th birthday emphasised unwavering faith in Marxism and communism. Xi also spoke of Chen as a disciplined party member. The between-the-lines message was clear: ideology was to be re-centred as the Communist Party's main source of legitimacy during Xi's first term. This year, Xi portrayed Chen as a model of disciplined governance, praising his ability to grasp key points, set aside time to consider strategic issues and simultaneously balance state-led and market approaches to economic planning. Xi highlighted Chen's 15-character maxim – 'not following superiors and not following books but instead following facts while exchanging, comparing and repeating' – offering it as a guide for cadres navigating today's volatile world. The symbolism is clear: Chen was not just a revolutionary elder but a technocrat who embraced policy logic in uncertain times.

F-47's loyal wingmen drones ‘huge deal' for US 6th-gen air dominance programme

Full-scale models of the autonomous drones intended to serve alongside the US Air Force's sixth-generation fighter jets were on display at the Paris Air Show this week, with an official from one maker confirming their development was focused on the Indo-Pacific. Advertisement Jackson Lingane, communications manager at Anduril Industries – a major supplier of unmanned platforms to the US Air Force – said that once commissioned, its YFQ-44 known as Fury, was likely to be deployed in flashpoints that included the Taiwan Strait. '[The US Air Force] has been very transparent, it is focused on Indo-Pacific fights,' he said. 'One of the reasons Anduril Industries is here at the Paris Air Show is we think the science and shape applied in Fury also has a lot of application for European allies.' The YFQ-44 is included in the Increment 1 package of weapons for the F-47 sixth-generation fighter jet and its collaborative combat aircraft (CCA) drones that are in development as part of the US Air Force's next-generation air dominance (NGAD) programme. At the General Atomics booth, another full-scale model was on display – of its YFQ-42A drone that is also part of the NGAD's Increment 1 programme. Advertisement
