China's recent export bans on key materials, including gallium and germanium, highlight escalating trade tensions with the U.S., particularly in technology and military sectors.
The announcement from China follows an expansion by the U.S. of its export controls on Chinese tech companies, potentially increasing the friction between the two nations.
Chinese exporters will soon need licenses to send strategically important materials such as gallium, germanium, and antimony to the U.S., indicating a tit-for-tat response.
As the largest global source of gallium and germanium, China's restrictions could significantly impact industries reliant on these materials, including technology and renewable energy.
