"In principle, the export of gallium, germanium, antimony, and superhard materials to the United States shall not be permitted," the ministry said, highlighting the growing tension in trade relations.
Citing 'national security' concerns, the ban on so-called dual-use items with military and civilian applications comes into effect immediately, reflecting China's response to U.S. measures.
China, being the largest global source of gallium and germanium, has announced strict export controls on key materials, emphasizing their importance in technology and defense.
The move follows recent U.S. crackdowns on China's chip industry, showing how both nations are intensifying their trade disputes amidst rising geopolitical tensions.
