China just banned US exports of a couple of “Death Metals” that go into weapons production and where China controls either extraction or refinery on a large scale.

If the US seals itself off from China, who is going to do better in the long run?
The country who produces the things or the country who buys the things that are produced?

China has announced a ban on shipments to the US of several dual-use items and key raw materials used in semiconductor manufacturing and military applications. The move comes in response to the latest US sanctions.
On Monday, Washington unveiled restrictions on the export of a broad range of chipmaking tools and software to the Asian nation.
According to a statement issued by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) on Tuesday, the retaliatory measures have been introduced in order to safeguard national security interests and fulfill international obligations.
Under the new regulation, China will prohibit the export of dual-use items to US military users or for military purposes. It will also strictly control the export of gallium, germanium, antimony, and superhard materials, as well as graphite-related dual-use items to the US.
The listed rare metals are used in the making of computer chips and a variety of other products, such as solar panels and advanced radar equipment. China is the world’s top producer of gallium and is a leading exporter of germanium.
The US hasn’t produced any gallium since 1987 and relied on China for 21% of its imports of the material between 2019-2022, according to the US Geological Survey. Imports more than halved when compared to previous years due to higher tariffs slapped on shipments to the US by Beijing.
When “Washington” blocks shipments, they don’t just block their own shipments. They make a blanket threat to the whole world, saying no one is allowed to ship.
However, we’ve seen with Russia that these blanket threats to the world don’t really work anymore.
