Data display after controlling gallium and germanium! The United States and Japan are involved
For our part, Western countries have been imposing restrictive measures. Prior to this, the United States had been uniting with its allies to suppress China's lithography machines, semiconductor manufacturing and other fields, thus hindering the development of China's semiconductor industry.
But for the United States, the countermeasures are still new, and its export controls, especially for gallium and germanium, will cause concern on the part of the United States.
The gallium-germanium output control measures have been in place for several months now, and data on this has been released.
According to customs statistics, since July last year, exports of gallium to Japan have decreased by 3 4, and exports of germanium have also decreased by 1 3. Japan is involved, and the United States, of course, is not immune. Since July last year, U.S. exports of gallium and germanium have been largely interrupted.
Of course, even then, the United States was not the most difficult moment.
Although the United States has relied heavily on importing germanium from us in the past, it has more germanium of its own, and the United States produces 45% of the world's germanium. Therefore, even if we cut off almost all supplies to the United States, it will not have much impact on the issue of germanium. Only a restriction on the export of gallium can benefit the United States.
The United States does not have sufficient gallium reserves at the moment, and the United States has shown on many occasions that it urgently needs to stock up on more gallium. However, this will never be a long-term solution, and if we continue to control gallium exports, the United States will be hit hard. So, they're now working on extracting an important ingredient from waste – gallium. Frankly, under our export controls, they want to minimize their influence, and then they can"Collect garbage"。
Only then will they be able to extract enough gallium from the waste in the shortest possible time to alleviate the current predicament. Experts believe that this is the only way to solve this problem now.
Even"Garbage collection"It's important to note that the term can be ambiguous. This is due to the fact that the local production laws in the United States do not approve the mineral mining plan. This means that there is a period of legislation to complete this cycle and extraction process. The negotiation process is expected to last a year and a half and is very effective. In addition, the passage of this bill is just the beginning, how much budget will be used for the next step, and whether companies will invest more money in this area, these are subject to further **.
* Garbage is certainly a nuisance, but now they do. When the time comes, they will be miserable.
If it were just that, there wouldn't have been so much trouble some time ago. However, due to the gallium and germanium rules, the United States is not currently affected much, while its allies, especially Europe, are extremely dependent on our supplies. If their ** chain is disrupted due to export controls, they will be hit even harder. In that case, Lao Mei is afraid that she will have to take the blame, and the matter will not be easy to solve.
