On June 4, the American Automotive Parts Suppliers Association (AAPSA) issued a call for a resolution to China's export restrictions on rare earths, minerals, and magnets, cautioning that these measures could swiftly jeopardize the production of automotive components. Since China imposed export controls, the export of rare earth magnets has dramatically declined, prompting concerns among global automakers about potential production delays and disruptions. As a result, these companies are actively exploring alternative solutions.
