🌐💡 Embrace Tech with Eyes Wide Open! 💡🌐 Celebrating the strides in innovation from Chinese tech, staying informed is crucial. 🚀🇨🇳 Here’s the quick scoop: 1️⃣ . Government Ties: Many tech companies in China have significant governmental stakes, which influence production. Let’s understand these dynamics! 2️⃣ Security Insights: By law, any tech vulnerabilities must be reported first to the Chinese government, which could affect global security transparency. 🛡️ Let's champion transparency and make informed choices as we navigate this complex tech landscape! 🌍✨ #TechInnovation #StayInformed #SmartChoices

Graph of known China espionage cases uncovered in the US during the last 20 years. Are education, industry, state and federal government employers really watching out for this theft of technology? China's ascent as a technology powerhouse is likely due in part from these activities in the US, Europe, and other countries. https://lnkd.in/gZpTKVJh https://lnkd.in/gkHaPN82

China makes most of the solar panels in the world with the power generated by its coal fired power fleet. They also make textiles, shoes, electronics, cell phones, computers, furniture, mining equipment, chemicals etc… you name it where they rely on their base load capacity of coal fired power stations to supply the power to their various industries. Hence, China has the increasing carbon emissions. Would western world consider buying less from China? Or they cannot stop this addiction because China is reliable and cheap?

China will continue to ratchet up not only its rhetoric against the US, but also its policy actions. Today, a ban on many #criticalminerals crucial to #battery and #semiconductor manufacturing was announced by China LEAP Manufacturing https://lnkd.in/gHygAcqt

Did you know? One of the advantages of having a North American supplier is that it addresses Geopolitical issues. This is because current international relations are incentivizing domestic self-sufficiency and “nearshoring” 🌎.

According to a recent Bloomberg article, China is implementing stricter controls on #graphite, including increased tariffs. This shift further emphasizes the advantages of Silicon anodes as a superior alternative in battery technology. Silicon anodes not only offer higher energy density but also contribute to a lower carbon footprint—making them a key solution for a more sustainable and efficient future in energy storage. At GruEnergy, we're committed to advancing the development and domestic US based production of Silicon anode materials to meet the demands of tomorrow’s battery technologies.

𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗮'𝘀 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘆 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀: 𝗔 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻? Starting September 15, 2024, China will impose new export controls on antimony (a critical mineral in high-tech, defense, and energy sectors). With China producing over 80% of the world's antimony, this decision could send shockwaves through global supply chains, impacting industries from electronics to batteries. - 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: The restrictions could lead to a 20% increase in antimony prices and potential supply shortages. 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Companies may seek to diversify their antimony sources by 30% over the next five years. 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: The need for new technologies and materials could accelerate by 15% as companies seek alternatives to antimony. #antimony #exportcontrols #supplychain #globalmarkets #china #technology #marketresearch #marketinsights

The Ministry of State Security has thwarted an attempt to smuggle gallium, highlighting the importance of public vigilance in protecting the nation's critical mineral resources. Gallium, a rare metal vital for computer chips, optic fibers, and new-energy batteries, is also crucial for military applications. In response to global trends, China designated gallium as a controlled export substance in August of last year. Recently, the ministry announced that it intercepted a bottle of gallium intended for smuggling. The suspect, Du, was found with the substance in his luggage while trying to leave China. Investigations revealed that Du was unaware of the prohibition, having been asked by Tang, an employee of a Chinese metal company, to transport the gallium to an individual named Fan abroad. Further inquiries indicated that Tang had knowingly purchased the controlled material and promised Du a substantial reward. Law enforcement, in conjunction with state security, penalized Tang and his company. Due to the small quantity and lack of harm, Du received a reprimand and education about export laws. The ministry reaffirmed its dedication to safeguarding strategic mineral resources and urged the public to report suspicious activities. According to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, China accounted for 90% of the world's gallium production as of 2022, holding two-thirds of global reserves. #Semiconductors #China https://lnkd.in/gfQX5hJh
