Regulatory forced divestment of Chinese-held shares in Australian rare earths miner Northern Minerals. Directly affects supply of dysprosium and terbium, key inputs for EV motors and robotics. Channel: regulatory (foreign interference concerns). Impact is Australia-specific but has global supply chain implications for rare earths. Winners: non-Chinese rare earth producers (e.g., Lynas, MP Materials). Losers: Northern Minerals (share price pressure, potential project delays).
