- China introduced a tracking system to improve sector control and crackdown on smuggling while Stellantis works with suppliers to maintain production efficiency.
- Ford shut down its Chicago plant for a week in May due to the rare-earth shortage, highlighting supply chain risks from Beijing’s export curbs.
- The export license clearance could ease pressure on U.S. Auto production but uncertainty remains about the scope or duration of the approval.
