China Bans Dual-Use Exports to 14 EU Companies Including Rheinmetall in Retaliation for Sanctions

China's Ministry of Commerce announced on July 27, 2026, a ban on further shipments of dual-use materials to 14 EU companies, including German defense contractor Rheinmetall, Sindhauser Materials, and Italy's Rafat Group. The move retaliates against EU sanctions on 14 Chinese and Hong Kong firms over Russia's war in Ukraine. China has leveraged its dominance in rare earth mining and processing as a bargaining chip over the past 16 months, having imposed export restrictions on tungsten, antimony, gallium, germanium, and seven rare earth metals since late 2024.
