China has delivered 5 million GaN (gallium nitride) chips to power a space-air-ground 6G network. This is a major milestone as these advanced chips moved from labs into mass production for commercial use. The development came from a US-sanctioned Chinese research institute, showing that sanctions completely failed to stop progress.https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3356321/china-begins-large-scale-delivery-gallium-chips-space-ground-6g-network1) China controls over 94% of the worlds gallium. By consuming more of this resource domestically for its own 6G network, it drastically reduces the supply available for Western defense and tech industries, which are heavily dependent on it.2) The mass production of GaN chips gives China a significant head start in the 6G era. This technology is the backbone for future communications, commercial space programs and advanced defense systems, putting Western nations at a clear disadvantage.3) Ultimately, this situation forces the West to depend on a technologically empowered rival for vital resources, a security risk that US sanctions were intended to prevent.Meanwhile Trumps administration just added major Chinese companies to Pentagons military company blacklist.https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3356419/us-adds-alibaba-byd-and-other-chinese-tech-champions-military-company-listThese restrictions, which mainly bar direct US defense contracts, are a tool to slow Chinas tech rise. Listing giants like Alibaba and BYD marks a shift from targeting state-owned defense firms to going after almost every major Chinese tech champion. xDSuch a broad designation signals that Washington has failed to find more precise ways to contain China, making the list a sign of desperation rather than a targeted strategy.
