Japan and South Korea can't bear it, South Korea begs the United States to let go of the control, and Japan hopes that China will relax export control!
Recently, South Korea's "** report: South Korea's Hyundai Motor is facing the problem of stopping production, and begging the United States to provide exemptions for the "unrealistic" "Inflation Reduction Act", and not to exclude key materials purchased from China from the "Inflation Reduction Act" subsidies, because South Korea now buys all kinds of raw materials from China, China has the world's most complete industrial chain price, and the products are cheap and good. He said it was "unrealistic" for South Korea not to purchase raw materials from China at the moment, and pleaded with the United States to ease control.
Then the Japanese side was also anxious and couldn't hold on! Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry announced on the 25th that at the request of the Japanese side, China and Japan have held a "Japan-Japan Export Management Dialogue" to discuss the export management mechanism between China and Japan, and the Japanese side hopes that China will relax the control of rare metals and other raw materials.
Japan is in a hurry! Japan is one of the world's leading producers of semiconductors, and most of the raw materials used in Japan's semiconductors are imported from China. Since China tightened export controls on germanium and gallium used as semiconductor materials in 2023, the export value of germanium to Japan has decreased by about 1 3, and the export value of gallium has decreased by nearly 3 4, which has a huge impact on Japanese semiconductors, and Japan can no longer bear it. We implore China to ease its controls.
China's control is a last resort. Because the United States and its allies have imposed restrictions on China's high-tech exports, China has been forced to take reciprocal countermeasures. 
Some Japanese experts believe that restricting the export of gallium and germanium may only be the beginning of China's countermeasures against the high-tech export ban of the United States and its allies to China.
