China has announced an immediate ban on the export of several rare minerals to the United States, escalating tensions in the ongoing tech conflict between the two global powers.
The Ministry of Commerce stated that sales of gallium, germanium, antimony, and superhard materials, which have both military and civilian applications, will cease. Additionally, the export of graphite will now require stricter reviews. The move is seen as a strategic measure in the broader competition over technological and military dominance.
