Group 1 - China has implemented new regulations on rare earth exports, causing significant concern in Europe and the United States [1][8] - Rare earth elements are crucial for various high-tech applications, including smartphones, electric vehicles, and advanced weaponry, with over 70% of global supply controlled by China [3][8] - The new regulations include export controls on gallium and germanium, which are vital for the semiconductor industry, leading to a dramatic increase in prices for these materials in less than a month [8][10] Group 2 - Historically, China sold rare earths at low prices to Western countries, which then produced high-end products and restricted technology transfers to China [5][6] - The shift in power dynamics has led major companies like Apple, Tesla, and Intel to seek cooperation with China, acknowledging its dominance in the rare earth sector [10][12] - The situation illustrates the importance of self-reliance and the changing landscape of global trade relationships, particularly in high-tech industries [12]
