In a series of escalating trade measures, China announced on December 3, 2024, a complete export ban to the U.S. on rare earth materials, including gallium, germanium, antimony, and superhard materials. Additionally, China has tightened its export license restrictions on graphite to the U.S. This move follows the U.S. government’s December 2, 2024, announcement of stricter export controls on semiconductor manufacturing equipment, such as etching and lithography equipment, targeting countries such as China, Macau, Russia, North Korea, Iran, Syria. These developments are part of a broader trend of global trade tensions impacting the semiconductor industry.
