  • NUGGET. Japanese companies are hiring IR professionals as they face greater scrutiny from shareholders, the TSE, and regulators. Positive development that we see as an offshoot of the governance code.

Is China’s Boycott of Germanium Gallium to the US Meaningful?

By Jim Handy

  • China is considering banning gallium and germanium shipments to the US
  • Semiconductors consume well under 20% of world gallium production, and an almost immeasurably small amount of germanium
  • Very little of the consumption is in the US, indicating that the impact of a boycott should be very small
