Thinktank Recommends EU Action Against China on Rare Earths
The recent recommendations from the thinktank highlight a critical juncture in EU-China relations regarding technology access. China's reliance on DUV machines for chip manufacturing poses significant vulnerabilities that the EU could exploit. Limiting access to these older machines would impact China's ability to produce advanced chips, effectively hitting them where it hurts. - The proposal emphasizes the importance of strategic resources in global tech competition. - However, the risks of escalating trade tensions must be carefully considered. A balanced approach could leverage EU strengths while avoiding potential backlash. Ultimately, the effectiveness of such measures hinges on international cooperation and sustained diplomatic efforts. The potential consequences for global supply chains are immense, warranting thorough analysis.
