there are so many choke points on this.

US admin is always several months behind. That's the obvious part.

How many are talking about Tungsten Hexaflouride right now?

I'm currently investigating into M8/M9 CCL and electronic grade PPE. How many do you think know what that is?

IMO it's massively underappreciated how important it is to have people with technical backgrounds in top government positions. The building blocks of the modern world is so complex and supply chains runs so deep that it's hard to understate how impossible it is for the average lawyer to even know who or what to ask, and because of power and status of such positions, without technical training rooted in objective reality, it's guaranteed they fall into dunning kruger syndrome or just go along with the best grifter.

"Sumitomo told Reuters it had not seen any impact on production from China's InP export controls so far."

How is Sumitomo able to weather the rare earth block.

Not coincidentally:

Some of China’s most prominent chemists, physicists and computer scientists are being drawn into the party’s upper ranks. Recent research by Li Cheng and Zhao Xiuye of the University of Hong Kong shows that more “academicians”, an elite group of career scientists elected by China’s academic bodies, are joining the party leadership and government. The number of such scientists with seats on the party’s decision-making Central Committee has doubled in the past decade to 29 of the roughly 350 members. They are said to have been elevated to help set policies, and to guide capital and talent towards China’s innovation machine.

The drive for technological self-reliance is a whole-of-government effort. Huai Jinpeng, the education minister, for example, is an expert in networked computing systems of the sort needed to link up data centres. His deputy minister is a physicist who was most recently in charge of Zhejiang University, known for turning out talented engineers for China’s artificial-intelligence labs. Both have seats on the Central Committee. It is likely that some of the academicians are members of an opaque party body called the Central Science and Technology Commission, created in 2023 to bring China’s innovation drive directly under party control.

Indium is not a Rare Earth metal and high purity Indium is a very small market.

I just sent a long time writing up a thread on this. It's not clear to me how much high purity indium access Sumitomo has, but I don't think it's getting that supply for Chinese suppliers.
