On Sept. 27, 2021, the Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) issued a Notice of Request for Public Comments (Notice), inviting the public to submit written comments on the initiation of a Section 232 national security investigation to determine the national security impact of imports of neodymium magnets, specifically neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) permanent magnets.
NdFeB permanent magnets are essential components of fighter aircraft and missile guidance systems, electric vehicles, and wind turbines and may also be found in computer hard drives, audio equipment and medical imaging devices – and companies engaged in those industries will be mostly affected.
This investigation is not country specific and covers all imports of covered items to the U.S., but imports from China will likely be the focus of this investigation as both the neodymium magnets themselves and the rare-earth minerals used to manufacture them are currently primarily sourced from China.
Businesses impacted should consider should consider filing comments with BIS. Written comments must be submitted to BIS by Nov. 12, 2021.

Return of McCarthyism?
|
“History never repeats itself, but it rhymes,” said Mark Twain.
At this time of political divide in America and tension between the U.S. and China, many symbols of the Cold War era are coming to haunt us today. From the Justice Department’s much criticized China Initiative to the re-emergence of McCarthyism in America, there are alarming signs that, if we are not careful, our country may once again go down a troubling path, especially for Chinese Americans who are stuck in the middle.
What lessons can we learn from the past that can help us prevent a repeat of policies and rise of demagogues that will lead our country down a path of ruin? US Heartland China Association and our partner United Chinese Americans jointly invite two award-winning American authors to share their thoughts on this important topic.
