"China's Breakthrough: Supersolid Material Reducing Helium Dependence in Quantum Technology"

A team of Chinese scientists has discovered a novel material with the potential to revolutionize quantum computing, addressing China's heavy reliance on helium imports, particularly helium-3, used in extreme conditions. As tensions between the US and China escalate, the risk of restricted access to dilution refrigerators required for ultra-cold environments adds complexity to the tech rivalry, further highlighting China's dependence on helium imports.

China's Export Restrictions on Graphite Fuel Global Tech War

China has announced plans to restrict exports of graphite, a crucial mineral used in the production of electric vehicle (EV) batteries, citing national security concerns. This move comes shortly after the United States imposed additional limits on semiconductor sales to Chinese firms. China, which dominates global graphite production, will require export permits for synthetic and natural flake graphite starting in December. The global demand for graphite used in EV batteries has grown significantly, and carmakers are seeking alternative sources outside of China. The export curbs are part of a broader tech war between China and the US, as China faces pressure over its commercial and trade practices.

China's Tech Arsenal: Unleashing the Big Guns in the Battle with America

China has imposed export controls on gallium and germanium, two metals used in high-end semiconductors, in response to recent aggressive moves by the United States in the tech war between the two countries. China supplies about 80% of the world's gallium and germanium, and an all-out ban could disrupt the global chip industry and the development of next-generation technologies. The move comes at a delicate moment in Sino-American relations, as both sides have been talking about stabilizing relations. However, China's action shows that it will not back down and can strike back in the ongoing tit-for-tat.
