DESCRIPTION
In July, China’s Ministry of Commerce announced fresh export restrictions on gallium and germanium, two metals whose global supplies both overwhelmingly originate in China. Firms that export either metal or any from a list of gallium and germanium compounds and substrates now have to request a government license, explicitly naming their end users.
