China has added 14 more EU entities to its export control list, banning exports of Chinese dual-use goods to them with immediate effect in response to the EUs latest sanctions on Russia. The newly restricted EU companies include Germanys Rheinmetall and Polands Vigo Photonics.https://x.com/clashreport/status/2080668783270592927So much for fairy tales that the bankrupt EU is more important for China than Russia xD
>>539538029>west and east are splittingBased as fuck and long overdue.Can't wait until we stop exporting shit to china, they can kiss half their rare earths goodbye without us.
>>539538110they have africa still
>>539538110>No, China does not typically import rare earth ores from Australia. Instead, Australia exports its rare earth concentrates elsewhere for processing (such as Lynas Rare Earths sending materials to Malaysia), while China dominates global rare earth mining and refining itself, and Australia actively restricts Chinese investment in its local rare earth projects.wtf is this delusional nafo tranny yapping about
>>539538110Australian low tech exports to China (iron ore, LNG, agri) account for 8% of Australia’s GDP but <0.5% of Chinas GDP. Likewise, Chinese exports to Australia are only 1.5% of Chinas total exports, yet they underpin Australian manufacturing and retail. Thus, a trade disruption causes severe potentially deadly macroeconomic pain for Australia, while for China it is a minor friction, barely noticable

Chinas decision to cut off these 14 European entities from Chinese dual-use goods strikes directly at the critical structural vulnerabilities of the European defense sector. By surgically picking targets rather than imposing a blanket trade ban, Beijing has focused on key choke points in the production of modern military hardware, from raw materials to sub-components.Targeting these specific companies could heavily disrupt or temporarily freeze EU defense production in several critical areas:1. Optoelectronics, Night Vision, and Guided MissilesThe Entities: Vigo Photonics (Poland), Opticoelectron Group (Bulgaria), and Ekspla UAB (Lithuanian laser maker).The Vulnerability: Vigo Photonics is globally renowned for manufacturing advanced infrared photon detectors, which are vital components for thermal imaging, night-vision systems, and the guidance systems inside precision missiles. Ekspla produces specialized lasers used for military range-finding and targeting systems.The Impact: The production of advanced optics relies heavily on raw materials like germanium, gallium, and tellurium—markets where China holds an aggressive near-monopoly. By banning the export of dual-use components, processing tools, or base chemicals to these specific optical and laser firms, China can effectively halt the production lines of Europe’s smart munitions, drones, and advanced night-combat gear.

>>5395403782. Next-Gen Radar and Electronic WarfareThe Entities: III-V LAB and InPACT S.A. (France).The Vulnerability: These French semiconductor firms specialize in wafer development and advanced compound semiconductor materials (such as Gallium Arsenide and Indium Phosphide). These specialized chips are the foundation of modern active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar systems, secure satellite communications, and electronic warfare (EW) jamming equipment.The Impact: High-tech semiconductor manufacturing relies on ultra-pure chemical precursors, substrates, and specialized manufacturing equipment. Cutting off China-origin dual-use items to these labs slows down the R&D and scaling of Europe’s sovereign defense electronics, keeping them dependent on stretched global supply chains.
>>5395405503. Artillery, Armored Vehicles, and LogisticsThe Entities: Rheinmetall AG (Germany) and TATRA TRUCKS a.s. (Czech Republic).The Vulnerability: Rheinmetall is the cornerstone of European heavy defense, manufacturing everything from the Leopard 2 tanks to the vast majority of NATO-standard 155mm artillery ammunition. Tatra Trucks provides the heavy-duty, multi-axle chassis used to carry critical military logistics and major artillery systems (like the French CAESAR or Czech DANA howitzers).The Impact: While Rheinmetall builds the final weapons systems, they depend heavily on global raw materials. For instance, nitrocellulose—a primary ingredient in gunpowder and artillery propellants—has seen massive supply constraints, with Europe previously heavily relying on Chinese cotton linters. Furthermore, heavy vehicles like Tatra trucks require vast arrays of cast parts, bearings, and basic electrical harnesses that are overwhelmingly mass-manufactured in China.
>>5395406284. Heavy Automation and PropulsionThe Entities: Lafert S.p.A. (Italy) and Garnet S.r.l. (Italy).The Vulnerability: Lafert produces high-performance electric motors, while Garnet specializes in automation components and robotics.The Impact: Modern defense factories rely entirely on highly automated robotic assembly lines to scale up weapon manufacturing. Furthermore, precision electric motors are required for everything from moving a tank’s turret to operating the control surfaces on automated drones. Stripping these automation giants of access to Chinese components means that the machinery building the weapons could break down without easy replacement parts.

>>539538262Niggers pay with precious mineralsz metals, oil etc. Eurofags can pay only with their printed monopoly-money in which they arbitraily set their salaries. China can live without French wines and Polish chickens. But can Europe live without Chinese electronics, components, crucial minerals etc etc? I dont think so xD

Daily reminder that the West put +23.000 sanctions on Russia that proved to be ineffective in destroying Russian economy or stop its MIC from weapon production. These very few Chinese sanctions will be far more effective in down-scaling European weapon production. Previous ones already effectively prevented European MICs from scaling up. Europederasts only announce huge plans and huge sums of monopoly-money since 2022 but nothing concrete ever comes out of it
