This decision by China looks like a symmetrical response to the US restrictions in the semiconductor sector. The irony is that both countries claim to want to preserve global economic stability, but in practice they are increasingly deepening the technological conflict. Such actions only inflate tensions, especially in strategic industries such as semiconductors, rare earth elements, and other “key materials.” This, of course, affects not only states but also businesses that depend on these markets. What’s next – a ban on air exports?

It also requires stricter review for end-user and end-usage for graphite dual-use items shipped to the U.S.

The move comes after the United States launched on Monday its third crackdown in three years on China’s semiconductor industry, curbing exports to 140 companies, including chip equipment maker Naura Technology Group.
