China’s export curbs a ‘warning’ to US, state media says

Al Jazeera  

State-run Global Times says China will not be ‘passively’ squeezed out of the global semiconductor supply chain. In an editorial published on Tuesday, the Global Times said Washington and its allies have sought to suppress China’s tech sector with no regard for the “potential damage the technological iron curtain may cause to global supply and industrial chains”. “Compared with the US pressuring allies to cooperate on chip bans against China, China’s move this time may be more of a warning, showing that China will not be passively squeezed out of the global semiconductor supply chain,” the newspaper added. China’s Ministry of Commerce and China Customs on Monday announced that exports of certain gallium and germanium products would require special approval from August 1 to “preserve security and national interests”. The European Commission on Tuesday expressed concern over China’s curbs on rare metal shipments, calling on Beijing to base export restrictions on “clear security considerations in line with the WTO rules”.
