78% of US weapons will suffer through China: Researchers have found a very unusual reason

Extend: Increasing China export control over critically important minerals can affect more than three -quarters of the US weapon supplies. About it writes the newspaper South China Morning Post (SCMP) with reference to the data of Govini, which specializes in information about defense procurement. Govini researchers have found 80,000 weapons made using antimony, gallium, germanium, tungsten or tlur. The main supplier of these materials in the world is China.

In this way, Beijing's export restrictions can potentially affect 78% of all US weapons systems. "The recent prohibitions and restrictions of China to export the most important minerals have revealed the secret of Polyshinel: despite political rhetoric, the United States is fundamentally dependent on China in terms of supplying the most important components of their weapons systems," the company said.
