China's chokehold on rare earths set to suffocate auto industry
Alarm over China's stranglehold on critical minerals grew on Tuesday as global automakers joined their US counterparts to complain that restrictions by China on exports of rare earth alloys, mixtures and magnets could cause production delays and outages without a quick solution. German automakers became the latest to warn that China's export restrictions threaten to shut down production and rattle their local economies, following a similar complaint from an Indian EV maker last week. China's decision in April to suspend exports of a wide range of rare earths and related magnets has upended the supply chains central to automakers, aerospace manufacturers, semiconductor companies and military contractors around the world. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Bank Owned Properties For Sale In Cebu (Prices May Surprise You) Foreclosed Homes | Search ads Search Now Undo The move underscores China's dominance of the critical mineral industry and is seen as leverage by China in its ongoing trade war with US President Donald Trump . Trump has sought to redefine the trading relationship with the US' top economic rival China by imposing steep tariffs on billions of dollars of imported goods in hopes of narrowing a wide trade deficit and bringing back lost manufacturing. Live Events Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to talk this week, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Tuesday, and the export curbs are expected to be high on the agenda. "I can assure you that the administration is actively monitoring China's compliance with the Geneva trade agreement," she said. MAGNETS HELD UP AT CHINA PORTS Shipments of the magnets, essential for assembling everything from cars and drones to robots and missiles, have been halted at many Chinese ports while license applications make their way through the Chinese regulatory system. The restrictions have triggered anxiety in corporate boardrooms and nations' capitals- from Tokyo to Washington-as officials scrambled to identify limited alternative options amid fears that production of new automobiles and other items could grind to a halt by summer's end.

Meerut man arrested for operating multi-crore car loan fraud
Meerut: The special task force in Meerut arrested a 35-year-old man on Wednesday for allegedly operating a car loan fraud gang, causing losses worth crores to several banks. Additional SP STF Brijesh Kumar Singh said, "Anangpal Nagar, a resident of Kithore in Meerut, was the mastermind behind the crime and had been involved in this scam for the past 10 years. So far, six cars have been identified and a loss of over Rs 2.5 crores have been accounted for." Singh added, "Nagar used forged addresses in car loan documents along with fake Aadhaar cards at banks to secure loans and later sold the cars — mostly luxury — after defaulting on EMIs. The addresses on the documents were often linked to rented houses. Once a vehicle was financed, the accused vacated the listed address, stopped paying the EMI, and sold the vehicle at a reduced price to unsuspecting buyers." During interrogation, Nagar revealed that he registered a fake enterprise named Preeti Dairy, in the name of his female friend, showing its location in the Modipuram region of Meerut. Police said he used this fake business to create financial credibility by opening multiple bank accounts and transferring money between them to manipulate the cibil score in ITR filings. "In March, Anangpal financed a Fortuner from an SBI branch using a friend's name. Last year, he financed a Scorpio for Rs 18.5 lakh from the Indian Bank in the name of another female friend and later sold it to one Mohit Siwach for Rs 11 lakh. Two Toyota HyRyder vehicles were also financed — one from Toyota Finance and the other from ICICI Bank in Gurgaon — using fake address proofs. One of these was later sold to a buyer in Rajnagar Extension of Ghaziabad for Rs 16 lakh," Singh said, adding that investigation is ongoing to identify other members of the gang and trace more vehicles obtained through this racket.
