The Quad—comprising the US, India, Japan, and Australia—highlighted supply-chain security as a key Indo-Pacific agenda item during their October 31 meeting in Atlanta. They warned against economic coercion, export restrictions, and non-market practices disrupting critical industries. Though China was not named, concerns focus on its dominance in critical minerals, with China processing 70–75% of lithium and cobalt and over 90% of rare-earth elements globally, raising fears of supply chain vulnerabilities.
