China has always adhered to the principles of peace, cooperation, mutual benefit and win-win results, advocated resolving international differences through dialogue and consultation, and promoted international and regional peace and stability.

Less than 24 hours after gallium germanium banned, China cancels Borrell's visit to China?

Gallium and germanium metals and their compounds play an important role in the field of advanced semiconductors and play an irreplaceable role in the field of high technology and national defense.

China has a near monopoly on the global market in terms of gallium and germanium resources, accounting for more than 95% and 67% of global production, respectively.

In recent years, the United States and its Western allies have carried out a series of crackdowns and blockades against China's semiconductor industry, which has prompted China to take export control measures to fight back.

China said that this is to maintain the stability of the industrial chain, and stressed that export control is a global practice and does not target any specific country.

However, the Dutch Foreign Ministry asked the EU to respond to China's export control measures.

First, China, as a major supplier of gallium and germanium resources worldwide, has control over these resources. This gives China a huge competitive advantage in the semiconductor industry, and at the same time brings great economic benefits to China.

Second, the suppression and blockade of China's semiconductor industry by the United States and its Western allies pose a serious threat to China's economic and national security.

China's development in the field of high technology and defense is inseparable from gallium and germanium metals and their compounds, and the supply of these resources is limited, so China has to take corresponding countermeasures.

Third, China's export control measures are not just a response to the Netherlands or the EU, but to the international community as a whole.

China emphasizes that export control is a global practice, which is to maintain the stability of the industrial chain and ensure the rational use of resources. In the current context of global economic instability, countries are taking measures to protect their interests, and China is not acting alone.

Finally, China's control over gallium and germanium resources allows it to play an important role in the semiconductor industry.

However, China is also aware of the importance of international cooperation and is willing to share resources and technology with other countries to promote the development of the global semiconductor industry.

Faced with China's export controls, the United States began to count inventory, but the results were not optimistic

Recently, the United States has intensified its crackdown on Chinese science and technology, forcing China to take measures to restrict gallium and germanium metal exports to protect its interests.

The restriction would slow down production of U.S. defense equipment systems and increase manufacturing costs as the U.S. military finds itself short of gallium metal stocks.

At the same time, germanium metal is an important material for the manufacture of supercomputing chips, night vision devices and satellite image sensors, and its supply constraints will also affect the United States. Gallium metal is widely used in radar and radio communication equipment.

In order to reduce dependence on Chinese supplies, the United States has launched a process of indigenous rare earth mining. However, this initiative faces the challenges of limited mining and processing capacity and environmental issues.

In this case, China should actively safeguard its own interests and reduce its dependence on rare earths through the research and development and application of rare earth alternative materials, so as to improve its voice in the rare earth industry chain and promote a fair and reasonable competitive environment.

First, China can increase its research and development of rare earth alternative materials. Rare earth alternative materials refer to new materials that can replace rare earth materials in various fields.

By increasing research and development of these materials, China can reduce its dependence on rare earths and achieve technological self-sufficiency. In this way, China will be better able to respond to U.S. restrictions and protect its own interests.

Second, China can strengthen the application of rare earth alternative materials. By promoting and applying rare earth alternative materials, China can reduce the demand for rare earths, thereby reducing its dependence on imported rare earths.

This can not only improve China's voice in the rare earth industry chain, but also promote the sustainable development of the rare earth industry.

In addition, China can jointly respond to U.S. repression by strengthening cooperation with other countries. Rare earth resources are not unique to China, and other countries are also rich in rare earth resources.

China can strengthen cooperation with these countries to jointly develop rare earth resources to reduce dependence on Chinese supplies, while also providing rare earth resources to other countries.

In addition, China can also use the power of the domestic market to promote the development of the rare earth industry. China has the world's largest rare earth reserves and production, and is also the largest consumer of rare earths.

By increasing investment and innovation in the rare earth industry chain, China can improve its voice in the rare earth market and realize the independent and controllable rare earth industry.

Finally, China can safeguard its interests through international organizations and multilateral mechanisms. China can promote the establishment of norms and standards for the rare earth industry by strengthening cooperation with international organizations to safeguard its own interests and promote a fair and reasonable competitive environment.

Delusional want to give China a dismount? The United States and the Philippines delineate a restricted area in the waters of Huangyan Dao?

Recently, the United States and the Philippines planned joint military exercises in waters close to Scarborough Shoal, raising speculation about whether the operation was directed against China.

In fact, this is not the first time that the United States and the Philippines have held joint military exercises in the South China Sea this year, and although they are smaller, they are more intense.

The Philippines' plan to decommission a Chinese-built oil tanker as a target ship has been interpreted by some as a demonstration against China. However, this interpretation is debatable.

The Philippines and Vietnam do have some controversy over the South China Sea, but not because they have wolf ambitions, but because they want to balance China's influence in the South China Sea by bringing in U.S. troops.

The South China Sea issue is an important geopolitical issue for China. China has always stressed that the South China Sea issue is an issue involving sovereignty and territorial integrity, and they advocate resolving disputes through direct dialogue and consultation.

However, the United States sees the South China Sea as a springboard to contain China's rise, trying to maintain a situation in which China competes with China but does not break down.

In fact, the United States has been strengthening its military presence in the South China Sea. They uphold freedom of navigation and the dignity of international law by sending warships and aircraft to conduct freedom of navigation and overflight operations.

However, China sees this as a challenge to its sovereignty, as it claims most of the South China Sea.

Against this background, the holding of joint military exercises by the United States and the Philippines does not mean that they are directly aimed at China. On the contrary, it can be seen as an expression of concern for the security and stability of the South China Sea region.

Such exercises help strengthen military cooperation between the United States and the Philippines and improve capabilities to respond to maritime security threats.

Challenging China's bottom line? Once the PLA strikes, the United States can only regret it

Recently, the United States announced a new round of arms sales to Taiwan, which immediately attracted global attention and speculation.

China's Ministry of National Defense resolutely opposed this and said that the Chinese People's Liberation Army will maintain a high degree of vigilance to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity. The announcement reignited speculation and concerns about whether China would take action to retake Taiwan.

U.S. arms sales to Taiwan are seen as an attempt to contain China's rise, which is one reason for China's strong opposition. The PLA has strong comprehensive strength and modern equipment, and has the ability to meet challenges in multiple strategic directions at the same time.

However, once the PLA decides to recover Taiwan, it will face challenges from multiple directions, which is a practical problem that cannot be ignored.

First, the first challenge facing the PLA comes from Taiwan itself. Although Taiwan is nowhere near as militarily powerful as China, its geographical location and operational environment make it possible for the PLA to face considerable difficulties in recovering Taiwan.

Taiwan is located between the straits, has developed military facilities and strong self-defense capabilities, which will add a certain complexity to the actions of the Chinese military.

Second, the PLA will also face challenges from the United States and its allies. The United States has always been Taiwan's most important military supporter, and its continued arms sales to Taiwan can be seen as a warning and provocation to China.

In addition, the United States has the most powerful navy and air force in the world, and its ability to intervene in the conflict with Taiwan cannot be underestimated. Coupled with the possibility of U.S. allies joining the fray, the PLA will face pressure from multiple directions.

In addition, the PLA needs to consider other potential challenges. Japan, for example, has gradually strengthened its military capabilities in recent years and maintains a close security cooperation with the United States.

South Korea, the Philippines and other countries have also expressed concern about China's actions in the South China Sea and strengthened military cooperation with the United States. The participation of these countries will further intensify the pressure on the PLA to recover Taiwan.

Is the era of U.S.-China relations over?

According to the analysis of US think tanks, China is gradually controlling the international situation and shaking its dominance of the United States. The U.S. strategy against China was considered a failure, not only overdrawing America's credibility, but also negatively impacting the United States.

By taking proactive countermeasures and sanctions, China has successfully disrupted and disrupted the US plan, even exceeding US expectations. This costs the United States.

First, China has imposed targeted sanctions on the Taiwan issue, aimed at setting rules and drawing red lines for the United States.

This move not only demonstrates China's firm position on the Taiwan issue, but also sends a strong signal to the United States that China's core interests cannot be ignored.

Second, China's actions to impose fines and sanctions on U.S. companies have further exacerbated tensions between the United States and China. Such countermeasures can not only effectively protect China's own interests, but also bring substantial losses to American companies.

In fact, China's countermeasures in the field of military dialogue and science and technology have successfully seized the initiative in related fields.

Finally, China's rise on the international stage also challenges U.S. dominance.

As the world's second largest economy, China not only has a greater say in the economy, but also plays an increasingly important role in building the multilateral system and promoting global governance. In contrast, the international standing of the United States has gradually declined.
