The US🇺🇸 shoots itself in the foot again:
After imposed wide-ranging sanctions against China’s🇨🇳 chip manufacturing industry, China has retaliated by imposing export controls on gallium and germanium, two crucial metals needed for chip manufacturing.
China accounts for 98% of global gallium production and 68% of the refinery production for gallium.
What makes the situation worse for the US is that in 2021, the US imported over 50% of the gallium and germanium it used from China.
Another case of the US sanctioning itself?
