S.Korea, Taiwan shrug off China’s chip material curbs FMTNews FMTBusiness
Taiwan, home of the world’s largest contract chipmaker, TSMC, has a 40-day supply of gallium that can be utilised by local industry.
South Korea is a leading chip maker and the industry ministry would continue to monitor the situation since it could not rule out the possibility that China might extend the scope of its export controls to other materials, said Young J Joo, deputy minister for industrial policy. China did not control an absolute amount of germanium in the world as it did with rare earths, the official said.
The Korea Mine Rehabilitation and Mineral Resources Corporation had about 40 days stockpile of gallium that local industry could use, a government source with knowledge of the matter said, adding there were other sources of germanium.
