Under the current tense international situation, China's control measures on key metals have attracted widespread attention. In addition to the United States and Western countries, Russia is also uneasy. Recently, Russia has frequently sent delegations to visit China, demonstrating the close interaction between the two sides. This series of developments highlights the intention of cooperation in the field of metals, which involves not only the aluminum industry, but also the refining and production of key metals such as gallium, as well as the close cooperation between China and Russia in this field.

In an atmosphere of international tension, China's control of key metals has attracted widespread attention. Not only the United States and Western countries, but also China's close partner Russia, are worried. Recently, Russia sent a series of delegations to China, a dynamic that hints at close interaction between the two sides. This series of initiatives underscores the willingness to cooperate in the metals sector, which is not limited to the aluminum industry, but also includes the refining and production of key metals such as gallium, as well as the close cooperation between China and Russia in this field.
First of all, Alexei, vice president of RUSAL Group, arrived in Beijing and had in-depth communication with Zhang Mengxing, president of MCC Group. Previously, the two sides have signed a contract in which China will provide Russia with equipment, technology and training, and assist in the construction of production lines to ensure an annual output of 30,000 tons of aluminum compounds and 25,000 tons of industrial solvents. During the meeting, the Chinese side once again stressed its commitment to give full play to its advantages in the field of metal minerals and provide high-quality and efficient services for the Russian side to achieve high-level and multi-field strategic cooperation.
It is worth noting that this cooperation may involve not only the aluminum industry, but also key metals such as gallium. Gallium is a scarce resource that usually needs to be extracted from bauxite, and China has rich experience and a complete industrial chain in this regard. RUSAL is one of the main producers of Russian gallium, but its annual production is relatively low, about 6 tons. In contrast, China occupies a globally important position in the production of germanium and gallium, accounting for 60% and 90% of the market share, respectively. Therefore, China's assistance may mainly involve the refining and production of gallium.
For Russia, the production of germanium is relatively mature, but there are difficulties in the production of gallium. In the face of multiple sanctions, it will not be easy for Russia to hope to expand gallium production. Unlike the United States, which focuses on the semiconductor industry, Russia is more worried about the military industry, because gallium plays a key role in the production of military radars and fighter jets and warships. Therefore, China's help is seen as important support for the Russian military industry and can ease the pressure of metal shortages.
However, some are beginning to worry about whether Russia will take China's place. Although with the assistance of the Chinese side, Russia has built production lines, it is very difficult to compare production capacity with China. Russia is likely to retain additional gallium production after addressing domestic metal demand as a bargaining chip in negotiations with the West. However, against the backdrop of the game with the West, Russia is unlikely to use this chip lightly.
There are two main reasons for China to help. First of all, the cooperation between the two sides will promote cooperation in metal production, and Russia can export aluminum scrap slag to China, thereby increasing China's gallium production. Second, China received help from the Soviet Union in the early days of the People's Republic of China, so China felt obligated to reciprocate. In short, for germanium and gallium, China said that it would control, while it was open to countries with which China is willing to carry out friendly cooperation. However, China will resolutely fight back against those countries that deliberately suppress China. In this turbulent international situation, cooperation and friendly exchanges remain the most important supporting forces.
Article Summary:
In the current tense international situation, China's control measures on key metals have aroused widespread concern, not only in the United States and Western countries, but also in China's close partner Russia. Russia's frequent visits to China demonstrate the close interaction between the two sides. This series of developments highlights the intent to collaborate in the metals sector, not only in the aluminum industry, but also in key metals
Such as the refining and production of gallium. There are profound strategic considerations behind this cooperation.
First of all, metal cooperation between China and Russia involves not only the aluminum industry, but also key metals such as gallium. Gallium plays a pivotal role in the field of modern science and technology, and is used in the manufacture of semiconductors, photovoltaic cells, lasers and other fields. The demand for gallium is growing rapidly, which also makes it the focus of international competition. Cooperation between China and Russia will not only help meet the internal needs of the two countries, but also achieve a more favorable competitive position in the international market.
Secondly, behind the Sino-Russian metal cooperation, there is also a tradition of historical sentiment and friendly cooperation. The Soviet Union provided valuable assistance in the early days of New China to help China rebuild its steelmaking enterprises, a friendship that is still alive in the memories of the two peoples. Therefore, China regards it as a grace of dripping water and is willing to extend a helping hand to Russia in the field of metals.
For China, in-depth cooperation with Russia in the field of metals also has clear interest considerations. First of all, the cooperation is expected to promote the complementary and coordinated development of the metal industries of the two countries. Russia can export aluminum scrap to China to solve its own resource waste problem, while China can obtain more gallium resources to support its high-tech industry. This mutually beneficial relationship helps to improve the overall competitiveness of the metals industry.
Secondly, China's technical strength and industrial chain maturity in the metal field make it an ideal partner. China has a wealth of experience and technology and has significant advantages in refining and producing critical metals. This provides Russia with a reliable platform for cooperation and helps Russia improve the level of its own metal industry.
To sum up, China-Russia metal cooperation is not only economic cooperation, but also cooperation based on common strategic interests and friendly feelings. Against the backdrop of the complex and ever-changing international situation, China will continue to uphold the principle of openness and cooperation, support those countries that are willing to cooperate with China in friendship, and resolutely deal with any unfriendly measures against China. On the basis of cooperation and friendship, China-Russia metal cooperation will become a powerful booster for the common prosperity and development of both sides.
