China Tightens Control on Tech Exports as Trade War Intensifies

China has implemented stricter measures to control the export of critical minerals, technology, and skilled personnel. Recent actions include:
Expanding export bans on gallium, germanium, and antimony to all countries
Proposing new export controls on rare minerals like tungsten, tellurium, bismuth, and indium
Restricting the movement of engineers and equipment out of the country
Implementing licensing requirements for exports of key materials
These moves are seen as a response to U.S. export controls on advanced semiconductor technology and come ahead of President-elect Donald Trump's return to office. The escalating trade tensions are expected to have significant impacts on global supply chains and technological development.
