China retaliates at US chip restrictions by banning shipment of key materials

The global chip war is ramping up with China banning exports of key materials to the United States. The move comes in response to the Biden administration tightening the country’s access to American technology.

China’s Ministry of Commerce announced Tuesday, Dec. 3, that it will stop shipping rare minerals and metals used to make military components, semiconductors, batteries, electronics and solar panels. That includes gallium, germanium, antimony and graphite.

The Biden administration expanded its technology curbs to China on Monday, Dec. 2, prohibiting the sale of certain types of chips and machinery, and adding more than 100 companies to a restricted-trade list.

This is the third move by President Joe Biden in the past three years to prevent China from acquiring and making advanced computer chips, citing national security threats to the U.S.

The chips are used for powering artificial intelligence and supercomputers that can be used to launch cyber attacks and design new weapons.

“Such practices seriously undermine the international economic and trade order, disrupt the stability of global production and the supply chain, and harms the interests of all countries,” a spokesperson for China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.

Chinese industry groups are now calling for Chinese companies to purchase chips within China or from countries other than the United States, saying American chip products are no longer safe and reliable.

The groups did not go into detail on the issues with U.S. chips.

This all comes ahead of President-elect Donald Trump taking office next month. He has indicated he would continue to pressure China’s tech industry by hiking tariffs on Chinese goods.

Mining will not help, because processing rare earth plants are all in China. Even if it is mined in other countries, they are sent to China to be processed.

China is already self reliant up to 7nm chips. Is the US self reliant on rare earth?

I didn't the HVAC in a building that the department of defense was building. I was told they were supposed to be making chips for missiles. I had to go through a background check to get on the job.

Huawei new kirin 9020 chip is actually a 3.5nm, it will be hard for those who wants to investigate it even opening it up because it has the cpu, gpu, npu, wifi, 5.5G, Satellite comm chip all in one die. Yesterday their 6th gen tech demonstrator fighter plane just took off. They are the first country which flies the 6th gen fighter plane

If anyone rhinks we need those minerals your silly. Far as China manufacturing goes, doesnt really matter if your economy can't grow.

Expect huge investment in India for standard manufacturing.

The reason why Elon Musk & Jeff Bezos are so ambitious about “space exploration” is so they’re able to mine asteroids, the moon, and Mars for minerals and ores so that we won’t have to rely on any other country for steel, semiconductors, and many things like cobalt, lithium, gold, silver, etc.

About time to stop relying on the enemy for manufacturing

Just make them in the US instead of having to rely on Taiwan and dealing with China. Tesla and others could get on board and make a ton.

Dependency of "key materials" from CHINAH have been the problem all along, haven't they.

Australia will offer the US access to mine.

Actually I believe the timing of this is reversed. See Peter Zeihans video "China Bans Greentech Metals" from this past July. Just re posted today actually.

China forgets America has discovered rare Earth mineral deposits of its own.
