On the 22nd, Tesla CEO Elon Musk revealed that the mass production schedule of its "Optimus" humanoid robot has encountered a hurdle due to China's export controls on rare earth elements. In response, Tesla is diligently working to obtain export licenses for China's rare earth permanent magnet materials, ensuring they are solely for non-military purposes and thereby sustaining production in the civilian sector. Earlier, China announced export restrictions on certain medium and heavy rare earth-related items to protect its national security and interests.
