 Wednesday, December 4, 2024


Islamabad (News International / Pakistan  News - 12th Dec, 2024 ) :China on Tuesday announced that it is banning exports of gallium, germanium, antimony and other key high-tech materials used for military purposes to the United States.


A day earlier, Washington had announced the latest restrictions on Beijing’s chip sector, in response to which the Chinese Ministry of Commerce has also decided to ban exports of such items, which could affect the US’s ability to manufacture semiconductors.


Trump threatens to impose heavy tariffs on Mexico and China


China, citing “national security” concerns, said that the ban on military and civilian, so-called dual-use, items would take effect immediately.


It said that the end-use of graphite items sent to the US also needed to be strictly reviewed.


"In principle, exports of gallium, germanium, antimony, and superhard materials to the United States will no longer be allowed," the Ministry of Commerce in Beijing said.


"Trump's anti-China policy could affect Asian countries


More tensions likely under Trump

The escalation of trade restrictions between the two countries comes as President-elect Donald Trump takes office in Washington next month and has already threatened to raise tariffs on Chinese imports.


Chinese military activities near Taiwan


Beijing said in July 2023 that the country's exporters would need to apply for licenses to send materials such as gallium and germanium to the United States.


Then in August 2024, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce announced export control measures on antimony and related products, which will take effect on September 15.


Antimony is used in a wide range of products, from batteries to weapons.


China is the world's largest source of helium and germanium, which are produced in small quantities but are essential for making computer chips for cellphones, cars and other products, as well as solar panels and military technology.


US: Dozens of companies blacklisted for supporting weapons programs


China responds to US crackdown


The US announced new sanctions against China's semiconductor industry on Monday, the third such sanctions in three years, and China announced its latest decision in response.


The US has blocked exports from 40 Chinese companies, including chip equipment maker Nora Technology Group, under strict export controls.


China condemns US for fueling Russian 'war machine'


Beijing's Ministry of Commerce protested and said it would also work to protect China's "rights and interests".


When China announced its move on Tuesday, the White House responded by saying it would take necessary steps to mitigate "any Chinese coercive actions."
