Joris Teer quoted in Euronews & NOS

"China is in the process of pulling the rug out from under Europe's rearmament efforts, just as the Kremlin steps up its aggression beyond Ukraine," said Joris Teer to Euronews, warning that Chinese rare earth export controls could slow down military innovation across NATO and its Asian partners, as well as affect Europe's radar systems, quantum computing and other high-tech defence technologies.

Speaking to NOS on China's latest expansion of restrictions on rare earth exports, Joris told NOS that China is also trying to control exports from one country to another. "Because rare earths are used in many electronics—think vital sectors like defence, green technology, and the automotive industry—this will significantly complicate international trade outside of China," he warned.
