Free trade please
China will now require a license for the export of gallium and germanium, which could impact chip-making outside of China. The move is seen as retaliation for restrictions on exports to China by its geopolitical opponents, mainly the US. The extent of the clampdown is uncertain, but it could be used as a bargaining chip in trade negotiations. However, this should not result in an export embargo, as it would hinder global progress. It is important for global powers like the US to support free trade and globalization.
