Beijing’s newly unveiled export controls on two strategic raw materials critical to the global chipmaking industry are a “concern,” US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told a group of executives in China on the first day of her trip to the country

On Monday, China imposed curbs on overseas sales of gallium and germanium, elements essential to making semiconductors, which have become a growing source of friction between the world’s top two economies. The move was widely seen as a response to the Biden administration’s ban on advanced chip sales to China, which was announced last October.

And we may disagree in these instances,” she said.
