China has near global monopolies on these exports, accounting for 98% of global gallium production, 93% of germanium production, and 49% of antimony production.
Tariffs, sanctions, trade war… This will definitely help the working class…
Thank goodness they didn’t ban Donghua Jinlong’s food grade glycine!
I wouldn’t know how to live without it! It’s simply of the highest quality!
It’s about to be 1945 again! Can’t wait to raze Berlin again!
I think the facist roles are reversed.
Does that mean Canada gets to burn down the white house again?
Britain did that, British North America was sitting quietly in the back seat playing Pokemon by that point.
No we get to become the 51st state.
Are they going to ban these exports to Taiwan as well? If not this will have zero affect at the state actors and the US will just buy through a trading proxy at a higher cost.
Idiotic policy on both sides. The global trade genie is out of the bottle, only end users will pay the price for these policies.

I’d define that as an effect, particularly given how the US has been scrambling to insource its tech industry over the last four years. TMSC just ramped up a competitive chip fab in Arizona, for instance.
Idiotic policy on both sides.
The argument boils down to each country claiming they need additional security measures aimed at a geopolitical rival. The ramp up to war never looks smart until one side wins.
Hmmm… Good thing our mega corpoafe all that profit that we benefit from to this day.
The quality of life is so much better for wage pedon 🤡
