Our leaders have known for 20 years or more that rare earth metals need to be sourced in friendly to the West countries or developed at home.

There is absolutely nothing secret about the alloy or the process of making it into a magnet. If the DOD did not already have a supplier, they could find one in an hour or two. Some of the most sophisticated and specialized metallurgy companies in the world are in the USA. Their normal business is to design custom alloys for industry. Having the DOD hand them the formula and process makes it a piece of cake. These companies usually develop the process then license it to someone else. Usually someone Chinese this decade... but it's not like they forget how it's done.

It’s not a ban. It’s in reality a Chinese sanction over USA. USA really does not have a choice. Ban is just politics for local domestic audiences.

Why would the US but anything from China, especially software?

[@rolandthethompsongunner64]

All modern aircraft have computers. And it isn’t a part from China it’s an alloy used to make the part. This story doesn’t even make sense.
