China's Metal Export Restrictions Trigger Chip Sector Ripple Effects
China's recent restrictions on metal exports are causing ripple effects across the chip sector, as the country is a major supplier of raw materials used in semiconductor production. The move is expected to disrupt global supply chains and potentially lead to higher prices for chips, exacerbating the ongoing global chip shortage. This development highlights the interconnectedness of the global tech industry and the vulnerability of supply chains to geopolitical tensions.
