China is restricting exports of raw materials used to manufacture semiconductors and solar panels.
It follows similar moves by the United States and Netherlands.
Beijing says the new controls are needed for national security reasons.

With the US sanctions, China can still make its own chips but if China stops shipping critical minerals then the chip factories will stop working…lol
Let the US taste a little bit of it’s own medicine😊
Yellen is for negotiation? No, Yellen is going to beg China to buy more US debts. You know, the ceiling has just been raised so that the US government can borrow more.
Great decision by China.
Teach Yaankees a lesson.
Congratulations China ! Next sell all American debt bonds and leats al the majority of the world. Never use US dollar again , then it will be the collapse of the most evil country in the world , the American British invaders that stoke America after massacring over 50 million native Indians
Good job, China.
You can’t go on media, declaring countries are your enemies and you’re going to ‘punish’ them and expect trade to continue as usual.
Long overdue. China should do immediately when Huawei Meng was detained in Canada.
Long overdue response to the fascist US!
Finally someone speaks up to the bully, bravo
The U.S. started this economic war
The bad news is that China accounts for 90% of the reserves of gallium and germanium. The good news is that other countries also have it. The bad news is that this country is Russia, and the good news is that Ukraine also has it. The bad news is that the eastern part of Ukraine has been occupied by Russia. These two elements are essential materials for high-energy materials and chips, totaling 240000 tons worldwide, and there is nothing to replace them. The United States can consider dismantling the UFO or manned Mars mining, Wait slowly, maybe 20 years later or even longer, Stepper and chip companies will basically die out in this period of time, except for Chinese local enterprises. 😂😂😂
sweet, the disrespect the west and US is showing China is to another level, it is time to bite back
The arrogance of the western imperialiiists are mind boggling.
They truly think they are better than Chiiiinese who have surpassed them in almost everything. It’s called “whyyyyte god complex”.
It’s good that Chiiina will put these raciiists in their place as Chiiina rescues the Global South countries into the future….. while the crumbling U–S–A and the West will become thiiirrd world countries in 20 years.
China doesn’t see any country as meaningful other than China, Canada is just a place holding lumber China wants, America is just a place with a bunch of currency China wants, Russia is just a gas station they want, Europe is a place full of art they want to buy… they see us as storage lots, depots, warehouses full of things they own but haven’t taken yet… they’re like the west was 200 years ago, you know that evil stuff we grew out of.
India is crying now
China is in big trap… today china is economic super power only due to USA and west… very soon again china will know as patient of Asia status.
India is laughing bcs India has huge bauxite & zinc to make galium & geranium. 200 million dollars mining industry is handed over to India by China. 🤣
China has our support.
Instead of treating China as equal partner USA zionist lobbies are trying to act smart they don’t know ART OF WAR without invading any single Country China has conquered the world.
China made their bed.
They stole intellectual property and then used it to compete against the corporations they stole it from.
it was a very short sighted policy by the Chinese government and, moving forward, they will fall farther and farther behind in all technology because stealing IP meant they never had to do R&D themselves. It will take them many years to catch up R&D-wise.
gallium are extracted from Bauxite ore, and Germanium are extracted from Zinc ore, but Australia control Bauxite & Zinc market both in production and deposite, if US instruct Australia to cease supplying Bauxite and Zinc to China, good luck
The trade war was initiated by the United States, and the technology war was also initiated by the United States
. Why can’t China fight back? Well done China!
China tried to DO the same thing in rare earth , as a result their rare earth market share has suddenly declined from 98% to 60% today..LOL
😂 and those new 30% producers rely on chinese technology and patents to process. American simply exports their rare earths to China to process 😅
USA encirclement and suppression are so obvious. China response had been very measured.
敌人抢我让敌人累我打敌人套我追。。。。。。。。。。。
Next, China will stop selling high quality sands to Taiwan.
Good on China on protecting its sovereign interests. What even gives the West any “rights” to complain when they have been doing this shxt to China long before China did the same back? I hope Middle Eastern countries will also tighten laws on the supply of oil to unfriendly countries (e.g., the ones who don’t care about your sovereignty and constantly attempts to meddle in your internal affairs)
I hope US will start the War again…. in the middle east and some unfriendly countries… wait and C who is big boss. 😂😂
@jackiechinese government seems sold DF21 hypersonic anti ship ballistic missiles and 12 052 missile destroyers to the middle East countries. Your beloved Iranian just picked hypersonic ballistic missiles technology from deserts and have their new toys too. Dare you to get close?😅😅
Cant make sophisticated chips if you dont have the raw materials
👉
Its time China took some actions against US bullying, sanctions, banning of high tech semiconductor chips.
China is helping the US de-risk!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Well done china
Perfect.
Why did the US started a trade war? Well theyre known to start all kinds of war but why a trade war? The US needs to rethink its priorities tbh
Except Japan also has components necessary and irreplacable for microchips, and if they retaliate on restrictions, it would hit China too in the same way it hit South Korea after being taken off the whitelist.
China and the US can flex and play bravado all they want, but the reality is, neither can live without each other…
LMAO..the hypocrite westerners with their japanese, taiwanese and south korean lapdogs will be saying China is being a bully 🤣🤣🤣
为什么美国人这么喜欢争斗
2can play this game
The US should reopen all those mines for extracts of rare earths regardless of the environmental and health damages to the American people. I would rather die young, but I certainly won’t want to live without my cell phone or LED television.
you will have it from China, from?chipset to the whole product. If you do not want it from China, there is no solution
Even you reopen the mines, you don’t have the technology to extract and purifying the metals. Good luck if you can find a new way to process the metals without violating chinese patents 😅
Very Very Good
National security excuse is now used everywhere.
Sorry for China 🇨🇳, the more it resists the West’s semiconductor restrictions, the more it hurts itself economically.
– It can however asks for leniency.
Come on, let’s completely decouple the economy and see how the United States can control inflation
the total value of export of these two metals are USD30 million, its nothing, but losing the supply of these 2 metals for the West, would cost 10s of billion dollars
@Lim chea ting The key is not the value of these metals. If the United States wants to produce independently, it needs to expand its electrolytic aluminum production capacity by 20 times, increase electricity by 15%, and build a better railway transportation system. God cannot help the United States
@Lim chea ting Yellen is about to brazenly come to China to borrow money, and you know how bad the US economy is. Do you ask him to come up with a budget to expand production capacity and build infrastructure? Perhaps Americans can only sell their butts
@Lim chea ting China has handed over 200 million dollars mining industry to India with this & 500 billion dollars semiconductor industry chunk share. 😜 Bauxite & zinc is in abundance in India.
Xi’s Gallium and Germanium curbs risk backfiring as G-7 is seeking a supply-chain diversification away from China 🇨🇳.
– This further hurts China economically.
China has handed over 200 million dollars mining industry to India with this. 🤣
@Surojeet ChatterjiLoL India can produce silicone from sand, but to produce 99.9999% pure silicone or those two semiconductor metals will take you another 100 years. Good luck if you can ever find yourself a new way to extract those minerals without violating chinese parents 😅
China has the technology to produce 28nm chips and is currently conquering 14nm and 7nm. However, as long as a 28nm chip is available, it will not affect the production of mobile phones
This is a surprise attack by China as everyone’s attention is on rare earth elements (right, the two metals are not rare earth elements, which most people don’t get this right).
develop the technology, or finding the resources, who can be faster???
Good news: Though China does not export gallium, some other countries can do.
Bad news: the country is Russia.
Good news: China and Russia do not export, but Ukraine, which ranks third, can do.
Bad news: two Ukrainian mining belts are located in Donbass and Zaporozhye.
Good news: You can’t buy Ukrainian ones, but you can buy Japanese and Korean ones.
Bad news: Almost all rare metal refining technology is in China.
Chinese technology?…no guarantee no warranty.
Dictator xi ping pong… china invaded Tibbat, xingjyang n inner Mongolia now looking for south china sea..due to land grabbing policy china will split like USSR…
Invaded Tibbat n xingjyang… after that crushing wugar muslim n tibbatian ethnic.
Indian PM is busy in racism while China taking the market over, Shame
It’s not about national security for self defense, it’s not about Taiwan. Its about staying to be the only super power, United States intentions are to weaken the Chinese economy by decouple or isolate China from the rest of the world economy and then attack and conquer China, break up China into small countries like it did to the old Soviet Union.
whose smarter now? the fool who sanctions the ened product or the one who sanctions the raw materials?I have always said the US has a very narrow, arrogant, ignorant & naive view of the current world & fails to realize that it is no longer the puppet master it was several decades ago
The USA is currently asking/begging China to buy more US debt to support the US economy(that’s why Blinken and Yellen came to visit China) because they know China and many other countries(amongst them US “allies”) are dumping US debt papers on the market. Those US hawks looking for a war with China won’t feel the problems (loss of jobs and economic downturn) as other people will have to suffer.
The United States can give up on this idea. China will continue to sell U.S. debt. We have already sold more than 300 billion U.S. dollars, with an average of 200-300 billion U.S. dollars per month. Let the country and Japan, South Korea and Taiwan take responsibility
🇵🇰💖🇨🇳
Make America Grieve Again.
So will this apply to Taiwan?
Much ado about nothing; the West can get the materials from other sources. China has only been the cheapest supplier thus far.
西方人非常傲慢！自己随意决定自己想卖什么不准卖什么！难道中国没有这样的权利？
I would rather be a little nobody, then to be a evil somebody. — Abraham Lincoln
Finally a good measure from China on chip production
The international community has seen what the United States and its lackeys have done to China
US ask for it, now they get it.
Well done china ❤❤❤❤❤
What a move from China!!!
CCP wants money. This will not materialize.
Thanks China from India for handovering galuim geranium mining industry to India. 😜 both bauxite & zinc is available in huge quantity in India. with this whole semiconductor industry will be in India.
india need to build more public toilet before we talk about high tech
Indian hyena look for food leftover ,dirty,cruel and hungry as always
Just like silicone… any country can produce silicone from sand, but only American, Japanese and chinese can produce 99.9999% pure silicone. Metal for Semiconductor need to be 99.9999% pure. I bet India can handle it in 50 years later 😅
I say keep your microchips and surrender your satellites 💯 Fact and checked 😇 HakunaMatata 😇🙂🙃💯❤️😘
Gallium is also produced in Mexico, the U.S. has already set up shop in mexico for this and was prepared for this move by China.
The US has other options. China already has 20% unemployment, the economy is tanking, and millions of abandoned, unfinished homes. BRICS is a dream that would take at least 50 years to replace Western trade. Wake up people, you’re all being misinformed.
Your FED lady is begging chinese government to buy more bonds to bail out USA… Your wet dream in your drugged head surely make you high
The West should bring EUV to the negotiation table
The US stops selling microchips to China and now China just counteracts by not selling the world’s important minerals for the productions of semiconductors. Who provokes this at the first hand should not complain why China does the way it does.
war is coming closer for every day
Revenge at last
An eye for an eye 🤷♂️
When ur option are china, russia and Ukraine
USA(and the west)really cant afford to lose Ukraine now
World must identify the threat of Chinese Dictatorship and boycott China which only stand ground for its export.
China 🇨🇳 taking a stand will be felt globally.
Xi Jinping leads the world silently
VICTIMS OF 1000+ YEARS OF ATROCIOUS GLOBAL WESTERN COLONIALISM ATROCITIES CRIMES AND EXPLOITATIONS UNITE! ✊️
1:39 if US can use “security concern” as a basis for their aggressive policy, then China can also do the same. If US is trying to condemn China’s policy for being disruptive to global supply chain, then China can also condemn US for trying to curb Chinese influence on the world stage. If this trend will continue, the US-China trade war will evolve into a new cold war.
Ban all chinese apps such as tiktok immediately and send any politician standing in the way in front of a tribunal. Time to flush the corruption.
China’s been playing this game for decades. In 2013, they forced Hitachi Metals, A japanese company that had 45% of the world’s marketshare of high powered magnets, to move a huge part of its production into china through it’s export restrictions on rare earths and along with it the technology and expertise for their own domestic production. The U.S is too slow and out of touch to deal with these issues that China has been playing against the U.S for decades.
China is boss fir Qatar 🇶🇦 😂
So you propaganda spinner think it is perfectly good for the West to impose restrictions after restrictions on china but not OK for China to respond with its own restriction? Judt how much double standards and hypocrisy can you spew before you choke?
Love the reason for the permits!! National security 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Up, up, and up…..
good job china
Well played 😂
Bargaining chip??? Only in CCP’s mind……🤣🤣
Peter Zeihan made a good little overview on this subject. Also, that minister straight up lied in her statement. There is almost 20 years of leaked and declassified intel briefs of China hacking everyone’s supply chains to steal data. It’s runs so deep that for years Lenovo has code blocks in their computers’ BIOS for sending your data back to Chinese servers. Try removing it and see what happens🫨
Well boys globalization is over..
Some many CCP’s trolls and chatbot in this comment section.
Reciprocal action by china is not surprised…galium card to play is one among many card in chinese pocket
Why am i laughing? 🤣🤣🤣
its such a lose-lose all this bullshit
Excellent move by China. The West always want China just to stuff Barbie dolls and sell blue jean pants. They don’t want to see China mastering advanced technologies. Now without Ga and Get, they can’t produce advanced chips. So it is a draw.
The U.S placed export restrictions on China, what were they expecting? Flowers and gift cards?
The US has been using sanctions and restrictions for all these years This is probably the first time that a country have a chance to fight back the bully. Too bad for US, so good for the rest of the world.
the west forget about chinese mentality, give them pressure is mean they bounce back higher

Learn Chinese to get comprehensive understanding of China and have fun in learning process.
I’ve made many videos teaching Chinese in a self-proclaimed humorous way.
About 3000 Chinese characters cover 99% characters in newspapers and books. From my previous videos you can learn about 400 common characters.
There are about 120 commonly used Chinese character radicals. From my previous videos, you can learn about 80 basic radicals.
I’ve spent about 100,000 hours studying English humor and Western culture, and many years studying Chinese culture and jokes. My native language is Chinese.
well,
Westerner must be regretting everyday they invested in China
🤣
