"Despite gallium and germanium not being particularly rare and often being procured as byproducts of other mining activities, their low prices have been supported by China's cheap refinement process, making the extraction of these metals in other regions unprofitable. The new restrictions imposed by China may initially lead to price rises and potential disruptions in supplies and production of certain components. However, in the long run, these restrictions could motivate companies in other countries to mine these metals, which may eventually challenge China's market supremacy. Interestingly, the Pentagon recently announced plans to recover gallium from waste electronics."
