Export ban retaliation from China to the USA
The United States launched its third crackdown on China’s semiconductor industry in three years, enacting a decree restricting exports to 140 companies, including chip equipment manufacturer Naura Technology Group, among other moves, and with this decision, companies especially those working with Huawei were seriously injured. It was stated that he would receive it. There was a strong response from the Chinese Government to this decision.
The Chinese Government has banned the export of strategic minerals such as gallium, germanium, and antimony to the United States. This decision was taken due to China’s national security concerns and came into effect immediately. The new regulation covers dual-use products with both military and civilian applications and requires stricter scrutiny of the end use of graphite products destined for the United States.
SECURITY CONCERNS
China’s Ministry of Commerce stated that the new regulation covers dual-use products with military and civilian applications. With this regulation, the export of minerals such as gallium, germanium and antimony to the USA was banned. It was also emphasized that the end use of graphite shipments to the USA should be more strictly examined.
Thus, a new front opened in the tension between these two countries, which can be called the ‘Cold War of the Modern Era’. US restrictions on China’s technology sector are reciprocated by Beijing’s strategic moves. This high-tension rivalry continues to shape the two countries’ influence in the global technology supply chain.
