As we all know, the mainland has made great achievements in the field of chips, and under the sanctions of Western countries, we have not only broken through the blockade, but also independently developed domestic chips, which all reflect the progress of China's science and technology.
In the face of sanctions from Western countries, China decided to restrict the export of chip raw materials in order to counteract, which eventually attracted the dissatisfaction of Western countries, and one of the American netizens also raised questions.
The American netizen said on the American version of Zhihu Quora: "Is it reasonable for China to restrict the export of gallium and germanium on the grounds of national security? I think it's really hilarious about this question.
China's restrictions on the export of chip raw materials are unreasonable, so is it reasonable for the United States to sanction China's chip development? Isn't this a typical double-standard behavior, and the United States has seen the rapid development of China's science and technology, so it has implemented hegemony against China.
The reason why China restricts the export of raw materials is to counter the US sanctions, and we have not done anything wrong, after all, it was the United States that first attacked China.
One of the netizens from Canada said that the hegemonic behavior of the United States does not seem to work here in China, and in the face of US sanctions, China's countermeasures slapped the United States hard.
Knowing that China controls more than half of the world's supply of chip raw materials (germanium), and the cost of producing this raw material is one-sixth that of the United States, this means that it may be easier for China to make chips than the United States.
Not only that, China also controls 94% of the supply of gallium, which is why the United States will be completely panicked, China grasps the lifeblood of the American chip field, and soon after the United States sanctioned China's chip industry, China began to restrict the export of gallium and germanium.
Perhaps China's behavior will make the United States no longer able to make chips, although they have advanced technology, you can't do anything without raw materials, if the United States does not want to rely on China's raw materials, then they must make up for it at six times the price.
As a result, the price of chips and mobile phones in the entire American market will have to rise, will the American people accept this fact?
Subsequently, Australian netizens commented that the lack of rare earths may weaken the strength of the United States, but without rare earths, the United States will not be able to make any high-tech products, so the United States attaches great importance to rare earths.
And now that China is the largest supplier of rare earths, the U.S. sanctions on China are tantamount to shooting themselves in the foot.
In terms of rare earths, there may be no country that can compare with China, so this time the United States has to ask China for cooperation, if the United States still insists on going its own way, then after the rare earths are exhausted, the United States will be doomed in a few decades.
Later, another netizen from Spain said that in fact, it is very simple, China is tired of American hegemony, and they understand very well that there is no way to develop by accepting American hegemony, so China decided to counteract.
In fact, as early as the last century, the United States has repeatedly obstructed China's development, and they always sanction you in the name of "national security", in fact, in order to obtain greater benefits from it, and China has seen through their routine.
Since the United States wants to help China "reduce risks", China can only counter the U.S. sanctions by restricting rare earth exports, which will bring more pain and chaos to the U.S. market.
In recent years, the United States has been waging wars internationally, which has brought the American economy to the brink of collapse, and they have spent a lot of money on the war in the Middle East and the Russia-Ukraine war, so the United States simply cannot support the trade war and sanctions with China.
If they want to cut off the supply of rare earths to China, the West will have to build a new supply chain, but that will make it more expensive, and they will do it at a higher price.
Since the United States wants to "reduce risk", this is bound to happen at our pace, but now China is controlling this speed.
Immediately afterwards, another Singaporean netizen commented that the United States originally wanted to sanction China, but now it is sanctioned by China in turn, how ironic it is, it is clear that the two sides can cooperate for a win-win situation, but the hegemony of the United States has caused itself to lose more benefits.
Why the United States imposed export controls on chips, and why they threatened the Netherlands to ban the sale of lithography machines to China, are these two factors that have caused China's chip technology to temporarily stagnate, so China can only use countermeasures in response to sanctions.
China is no longer the soft persimmon that was bullied in the past, as the same netizen said, China has shown the strength that a big country should have, and the decisions it made are reasonable.
It's impossible for you to slap me a few times, and if I still do it, you will say that I am unreasonable, I am afraid that there is no such reason in the world, and the United States is leading the "little brother" to ban the export of chip equipment and technology to China.
Then China bans the export of key materials, even if these chip countries have the core technology, they can't make products without materials, and the United States has once again lifted a stone and shot itself in the foot, all of which is the United States to blame.
