(Beijing/Washington Comprehensive News) China announced on Monday (July 3) that after export control to semiconductor raw materials 镓 and 锗, a number of downstream companies in many industrial chains in the world responded quickly to seek a stable supply of raw materials. South KoreaAccording to Taiwan, it responded that it was limited in the short term.
Comprehensive Luya Club and Bloomberg reported that after China announced the latest export control, AXT, a US semiconductor wafer manufacturer, said that the national subsidiary Beijing Tongmei Crystal Technology Co., Ltd. will immediately prepare for application materials to buy from China.And 锗.

The Ministry of Commerce of China announced on Monday that it will control the exports of eight types of 镓 products and six types of products from August 1 to protect national security and interests.
锗 芯 芯 has a wide and important application in chip manufacturing, and 80%of the world's 镓 and 锗 are supplied by China.As China -US technology competition intensifies, this move in China is considered to be a counterattack against the US -Japan -Dutch export control of semiconductor equipment, which will exacerbate trade with the United States and may cause more damage to the global supply chain.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning said at the press conference on Tuesday (4th) that the Chinese government's export control on relevant items in accordance with the law is an international approach and does not target any specific country.
