China bans exports to U.S. of gallium, germanium, antimony in response to chip sanctions

they could have hit the u.s. where it really hurts, like banning the export of baseball caps, flip flops and christmas decorations.

once the dart throwing begins, get ready to duck.

There are alternatives to almost anything.

This is all for leverage in negotiations. Trump will remove his threats and so will China.

Trade War is the way to go for advanced nations. No need for concrete rubble.

Seams to me that trump do not run on logic and will not act like this. He will be happy with a tread war with all others country.

Tribalisation using sanctions and tariffs will kill the global economy. We will all suffer because of politicians playing games.

Excellent..

Great move China..

China does not fear the world pirates..

...meh, globalisation was always only a plaything of multinational corporations, it wasn't at all about resilient supply chain, it was always about reduction of labour cost whilst selling at highest prices possible.

This was all cosy until China started using supply chain for political coercion, and using USA's money to enforce it. Who did you think paid to keep pirates, and rogue states from disrupting this wonderful gravy train for CEOs and their friends, the CCP?

It's finished, gone, kaput! Call it what you like, derisk, deglobalisation, supply chain realignment...it's done.

Unless you have not noticed, VW, Stellantis, Ford, GM, Nissan...are all wishing they had their government to derisked 10 years ago, because now it could be permanently kaput. We're talking about an entire brand's ecosystem worth billions of dollars to the economy, upended by a communist state hellbent on punishing competitors, using what ever means, and even making its own people suffer to achieve its goals.

Now let's sink some Filipino ships, amirite?

Hahahaha

No question the world, especially green and hi tech, has become too dependent upon China's supply chains. It was never going to be easy or risk free to 'de-risk'.

Trump's going to find a way to do so gradually without blowing up the US and global economy, set the ship in motion so to say, and plenty of insiders like Musk can help find this fine line based on their deep experience in China.

China is too smart for the current and future US administration.

Hopefully Trump will do exactly what is says: build a wall all around his own country, and we will see less American informants outside instigating conflicts and wars.

Asia welcomes China because China is part of Asia, that would be the starting point of any conversation.

And just as nations like China, Russia, NK and Iran utilize "third party" nations to get around sanctions, so will the US continue to get supplies of what it needs. This helps the US to find alternatives faster, and break reliance on China for these goods. The US has many more nations friendly to it than China and the others do.

In the future China would need to undercut the costs significantly to regain the US market.

LOL, No, it is most definitely not.

China is despised in Asia for its belligerence and coercion. China likes to fool itself that it is liked but only other nations with dictators tend to get along well with China, and only when it suits them for similar goals or when it is worth something. When it stops they go back to distrusting and not working together.

China has territorial disputes with every neighbor and with a number that are nowhere near Chinese territory. That takes some doing.

My predication, Trump and Xi find a way to co-exist and help their respective economies. Trump's key concern abroad is ending Ukraine and Mid East wars, ensuring Iran is not a nuclear weapons power and FAIR trade, using tariffs, tax and other incentives to re-shore to US.

US looks to be in great position with energy dominance, deregulations, low taxes etc. for strong economic growth and technological development if you believe their rising markets!

SE Asia says otherwise. But then again, Australia has never truly embraced its Asian neighbors.

This is old "news." China is just reiterating messages it put out earlier when it announced the export restrictions on antimony back in August for a September 15 start, and the ones on germanium and gallium last year. Seems to me like they're worried about the US standing up to them again unlike Biden. Trump is just the shot in the arm the US needs to crank up its own resource industry again to prospect for and extract important minerals.

Antimony is a strategic metalloid used in ammunition and nuclear weapons, as well as in civilian applications like batteries and fire-retardants. The US hasn't been mining it for years and has been drawing on its strategic stockpile and recycled batteries, but is looking to open a new gold-antimony mine in the next year or so. Russia is a minor supplier, but the main suppliers outside China are Tajikistan, Turkey and Bolivia.

Your own article says 2/3rd fear China. Oh dear.

This is old "news."

No it's a targeted export control. Previously it was just export control which reduces overall volume exported, which resulted in price hikes for fireign buyers. Now USA is specifically targeted with an export ban. But yeah as far as effect, price has already been raised, no matter where USA source from.
