Let us just say the USA is really, really desperate. The
Chips War is backfiring badly, and it is pushing China into a more
decisive stance in developing self sufficiency, which otherwise it would
not be doing, and will probably still be content to rely on suppliers
in USA, Japan and South Korea. China has learnt its lesson and it is now
inevitable that the situation is turning out badly for Chip makers in
USA, Japan and South Korea with the Chips War.
The Chinese
restrictions on Gallium and Germanium is dealing a catastrophic blow to
the USA and its allies. They are scrambling to find alternatives ranging
from recyling old discarded phones and computers to extract tiny bits
of Gallium for which much investments will have to be set up, and
turning to mining Gallium ores in Mongolia of all places. The latter
attempt is a mammoth undertaking that is bound to fail.
Mongolia
is a landlocked country, with underdeveloped infrastructures to
undertake such a task. Moreover, China is not going to allow Tianjin
Port to be leased to Mongolia, which had been under discussion for quite
sometime already, which is a 'National Security Risk' to China if it
allows that. The idea was to use Tianjin port to ship out the ores to
South Korea or Japan to be refined.
Another more frivolous idea
was to lift the ores from Mongolia out by air, which is going to cost a
bomb and is clearly unfeasible. Moreover, having planes flying over
China or Russia's airspace is another problem. The USA is trying very
hard to use Mongolia to coax China in talks to allow the lease of
Tianjin Port, which China will never agree.

Aiyoo, from tons of rubbish extracting the Gall and Gem one ton produced one gram and also NOT pure.
Madness. Anyway good that now all these So called Wealthy Gstrings Self proclaimed Nations had to import tons and tons if their own rubbish back to their own countries as 3rd World's nations.
Last time wah steady how lian exported all their rubbish to 3rd World.countries.
Hello! Pakistan, India, Vietnam, Philippines etc time to export and made some monies to the Poor Thing West for their survivals.
Also Sinking Land where I saw all the brainwashed dafts so diligently and stupidly brought their recyclables into the bins where the Environment Big Trucks just dumped them into the same lots for incinerators.
Where in th e World they have special compartments for all these recyclables.
Better send to UAssA and have them extracted their materials.
The latest analysis seems to suggest that extracting Gallium from ores is much cheaper than from recycled mobile phones and computers. Which will they choose? Choosing both is not a cheap decision, as far as cost is concerned.
And the fact is, even if they could reduce the cost, how is that going to be able to compete with China, where all the facilities are already there to produce much, much cheaper Gallium to flood the market? The USA and its allies are in a predicament. Invest heavily in their own refining facilities and risk being taken to the cleaners by the Chinese, or continue to suffer shortages. Both are not pallatable decisions.
Apart from extracting ores, there is the question of having to expand facilites to cope with the refining factor. And there is the radioactive pollution question to be settled with all the waste. Good luck to the solutions.
Your analysis of the strategies employed in recent conflicts is both insightful and thought-provoking!
