It will offer free NBA and WNBA games for its users in Spain

by

Streaming platforms have long explored live sport as a way of strengthening their catalog against increasingly fierce competition. In Spain, As our Xataka mobile partners point outcases such as Movistar Plus+ and Orange TV have opted for football as a great claim. But Amazon has decided to move in another direction: it does not go with football, it is committed to the best basketball. Prime Video already offered a varied menu with series, films and documentaries, including original titles such as’BEEKEPER: The protector‘ either ‘Jack Ryan‘. Also allowed to add external channels such as Dazn either LaLiga Hypermotion through additional subscriptions. Now, it reinforces that ecosystem with something that until now did not offer: NBA matches and WNBA without extra cost for its users in Spain. 117 matches for prime video users in Spain. During the 2025/2026 season, Prime Video users in Spain can see free up to 87 NBA games, which will be added 30 WNBA matches from 2026. In total, 117 available games without additional payments, although far from the complete calendar of both competitions: it is a sample, equivalent approximately 7 % of the total NBA and 12 % in the case of the WNBA. For those who want to access all the meetings, Amazon will offer the NBA League Pass as an additional channel integrated into its platform. This movement is possible thanks to An 11 -year agreement With those responsible for both leagues, which allows Amazon to broadcast exclusively a selection of key meetings every season. A global strategy beyond Spain. The bet is not limited to Spain. Prime Video will distribute this package of parties in the United States and other markets such as Mexico, Brazil, France, Italy, Germany, United Kingdom and Ireland. In these territories, the agreement includes at least 20 additional games per season in stripes of maximum audience, a series of conference endings each and the NBA finals in six of the eleven years. With this movement, Amazon expands its presence in live sport and takes another step in its content strategy. So far it offered Spanish football competitions or sports channels under subscription. Now it incorporates for the first time a top -level basketball sample without additional cost. A play that seeks to reinforce the prime video value marking ground in front of the competition.

Take it to the car to speak with you and act like a real co -pilot

by

Google wants to change how we communicate with the car (And also with the clock and TV). Until now, talk to Google Assistant In Android Auto or Android Automotive It was useful, yes, but also required concrete commands, well -formulated phrases. That is about to change. In ‘The Android Show: I/O’ edition, Google has confirmed that Gemini, its assistant with generative, will reach vehicles. And it will not be a simple evolution of the assistant. The goal is to make the voice experience in the car as natural as a real conversation. It will no longer need to think about how to ask for something. It will be enough to say “Hey Google, let’s talk” to start a fluid talk with Gemini, without hands and without menus. And this is where the interesting thing comes in: the new mode looks a lot like Chatgpt voice mode. That is, you can maintain a continuous conversation, correct yourself on the march and replace. A co -pilot with AI who does not need translation. In the center of this experience is Gemini Livethe conversational mode that Google. It is not just to ask for a song or a route. The idea is that you can raise things like “I need to talk to my boss about a promotion, how do I focus?” and receive useful, natural and context suggestions. In addition, many frictions are eliminated that previously complicated the interaction: now you can issue a message, edit it before sending it, start from scratch or even translate it into more than 40 languages ​​without touching the screen only once. Everything is done by voice, everything flows in natural language. And if that were not enough, the new graphic interface has been redesigned to accompany this approach, with visual elements that adapt to Gemini. These are some of the actions that Gemini will allow from the car: Find routes with Google Maps. Send and edit voice messages, with real -time corrections. Play music on YouTube Music or Spotify. Translate messages automatically to more than 40 languages. It will also be possible to interact with other Google apps, such as Gmail or Maps, to solve more complex requests. If you need to find that field where your son plays football and just remember that someone mentioned it by email, Gemini can rescue the location directly from your entrance tray and take you there. The deployment begins soon (although without a specific date). According to Google, Gemini will begin to reach cars compatible with Android Auto in the coming months, and later will also do it in vehicles that make up the Google operating system directly. There is no exact date, but the plan is underway. The important thing here is not only the arrival of a more powerful AI, but the change of paradigm. Voice assistance ceases to be a list of commands to become a natural conversation, with context, memory and free language. We will have to wait to know if what the company promises us will be fulfilled.

Samsung’s survival in the chips industry is in the hands of its 2 nm technology

by

2025 will be the year of 2 Nm semiconductor. The three largest manufacturers of integrated circuits, TSMC, Intel and Samsung, will start the mass manufacture of these chips before the end of this year, but The starting position Of these three companies it is very different. Taiwanese TSMC leads the semiconductor production market with A fee close to 60%has a well -assorted and stable client portfolio, and Your accounts are enviable. Intel and Samsung, however, are in a much more compromised position. The American company currently led by Lip Bu-Tan is trying overcome a very bad economic streak reducing their expenses and developing its technology with the purpose of increasing its competitiveness. Samsung, meanwhile, is also going through a complicated stage, as we are about to check. In any case, for these last two companies Its 2 nm technology It is his real lifeguard. Good news for Samsung: has reached a 50% wafer performance in 2 Nm These statements made in the middle of last March by Han Jong-Hee, Samsung general co-director, They diagnose with precision What is happening to this company: “First of all I sorry for the fact that the performance of our actions has not met their expectations. In the last year our company has not correctly responded to the semiconductor market for artificial intelligence (AI), which quickly evolves. “ “Our technological advantage has been compromised in all our businesses. It is difficult to see that efforts are being made to boost great innovations or assume new challenges” This Mea guilt It is aimed at the company’s shareholders and expresses that the directive dome recognizes not having made the right decisions in recent years. “Our technological advantage has been compromised in all our businesses. It is difficult to see that efforts are being made to Promote great innovations or assume new challenges. There are only attempts to maintain the status quo instead of generating disruptive changes “, Pray an internal statement Written by Jay Y. Lee, the president of the company. However, this is not all. Samsung has led for more than three decades the industry of integrated dram memory circuit LEADS THE HBM Chips Market so much (High Bandwidth Memory) that work side by side with the GPUs for the The one of the DRAM memories. In current circumstances it is evident that Samsung needs to trace as soon as possible. And it seems that it is in it. At the beginning of 2025 several South Korean media anticipated that Large scale manufacturing of 2 nm chips It had already begun In the company’s South Korean plants. However, this does not mean that Samsung already has everything tied. Chips manufacturers need the candle performance of their avant -garde nodes is at least 70%and, according to the South Korean newspaper Munhwa Ilbothis company currently moves in the range of 40 to 50%. There are still more than seven months to finish 2025, and presumably Intel and TSMC still do not produce integrated circuits in a massive way Your nodes 18a and n2 respectively, so in theory Samsung carries a positive inertia. We will see what happens finally, but there is no doubt that this year we will bring us strong emotions in the scope of the semiconductor industry.

Gemini’s conquest began in Android mobiles. Now you will flood your TV, your watch or even your car

by

Google wants to win the AI ​​battle, and has a fundamental advantage over almost all its competitors: it has a perfect ecosystem to do so. Gemini deployment He started on the Android -based smartphones, but now he will go further. Thus, the firm has announced that Gemini’s characteristics will soon reach various types of product based on one of the many Android variants. It is one more proof of how the traditional Google assistant leaves its chatbot from AI. The smart watches based on Wear OS They are a good example of this. It will be possible to speak with the assistant directly on those devices to establish alarms and reminders, for example. And thanks to Gemini’s interconnection with Google applications, any user can ask data about a fact of those services – “what was the name of the restaurant that Miguel spoke to me recently in Gmail?” – To obtain the answer synthesized on the clock screen. The option will be for example available at the Pixel Watch and In the Samsung Galaxy Watch. Gemini too It will disembark in Android Auto. The commands that was already possible to take advantage of the Google assistant will go further with that ability to understand Gemini’s natural language. That, they say on Google, will prevent us from concentrating on the way of saying things and Let’s keep attentive to the road. This interaction in the form of natural conversation with Gemini in the car will also allow access to striking options. For example, ask you to look for electroberas on our route that are also near a park in case we want to take a walk. That connection with Google services will also make it possible that if we receive a message or an email on the Gemini mobile, it translates it, translates it and offers us to respond easily and with the voice. Or make a summary of the news (but perhaps without sports) or a document that we have to review before a meeting towards which we head. If we have a TV TVGemini will also reach said product segment. With the chatbot we can, for example, ask the AI ​​for action films suitable for children to obtain recommendations directly through voice conversation. But also TV can become a large mobile screen to find answers to our questions. As with the computer or mobile, we can talk and ask Gemini about any issue, and here there will be a special focus on offering results in YouTube videos. Finally Google talked about how Gemini will also arrive at Android XRthe operating system they are developing in collaboration with Samsung for connected glasses. Here the interaction is especially interesting because it will offer a striking way to obtain information, answers and content directly through the voice. In the example shown by Google, Gemini will be able to plan a vacation surrounding us with videos, maps and tips on local culture, in addition to offering us an itinerary of the trip. We are thus facing a gradual but total deployment of Gemini, which by the way also It will reach headphones of manufacturers such as Sony and Samsung, who has already announced it in the case of Your Galaxy Buds. There are no concrete dates for that display, but Google’s ambition here is clear: that we can talk to all our devices naturally when we need it. In Xataka | Mark Zuckerberg believes that in 2030 we will not get the smartphone so much out of the pocket: we will do almost everything from the glasses

Google has been trying to create your WhatsApp. With RCS it is achieving it without it seems

by

Google has been trying to create its own messaging platform to stand up to WhatsApp. Without success. He tried with Hangouts, with Alloeven with Google+. All these projects ended as Stadia, Chrome apps o Android Things: closed and forgotten. Meanwhile… Apple has consolidated Issssage as its native channel in some markets, especially in the United States. And goal has made WhatsApp the default tool to talk to anyone in the middle of the planet. Google, despite controlling More than 70% From the mobile market with Android, it did not have a direct route with its users. And that is starting to change thanks to RCS. RCS is a technical standard, not an application, designed in theory to replace the SMS and offer a more modern messaging on smartphones. Let send images and videos, have reading confirmations, creating group chats … but its reach goes beyond the interface: It is the first relevant messaging channel in the Android ecosystem that does not depend on an external app like WhatsApp or Telegram. The key is how Google has managed to position it. It has not launched a new application. Has integrated RCS directly on Google Messagesthe native messages on Android. In the United States, the deployment is almost total: more than one billion RCS messages are sent every day, according to figures announced by Google. “Only” are three messages per inhabitant and day, but something is. Google controls its infrastructure, its APIs and its evolution. And he has done it without asking the user to download anything, nor that he believes a new account. It is there. Works. And more and more people use it, often without knowing it, because they believe they continue using the SMS. But not anymore: it is a RCS controlled by Google. That final nuance is key. Because although RCS is presented as an open standard, what is growing is not a decentralized network, but an RCS with an accent of Mountain View. Google has not only promoted its deployment: it has assumed its technical control in many countries, jumping to the operators. Since in 2019 he decided to offer it directly – without waiting for telecos—RCS has gone from forgotten promise to functional channel. And now, Apple. Another silent victory: Apple has been forced to incorporate it for European regulatory pressure. That does not make Imessage interoperable, but it has eliminated the largest brake that was to the global deployment of the new standard. From there, the old SMS – with its limits and compression – has ceased to be the default language between Android and iOS. It is RCS. A more modern channel, encrypted … and with owner. And that is the real change. Google has not created its WhatsApp. He has done something more subtle: He has reconverted Android’s native messaging on his own platform. Without calling it that way. Without asking you permission. Without seeming it. In Xataka | Gemini should not be called Gemini. It should be called Google Outstanding image | Google, Xataka

The tariff war is causing Chinese consumers to buy Chinese brands. And the first victim is Apple

by

A nationalist wind travels Electronics stores in China and is affecting foreign brand mobile sales. In March, foreign mobile distributions were reduced to almost half of one year to another, according to the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) cited by Reuters. This contraction has relegated Apple to fifth position in the Chinese market, with a 14.1 % share. Less than two years ago he was leader. Meanwhile, national manufacturers – vivo, oppo, xiaomi and, Above all, Huawei– They continue to register double digit growth, gaining ground both in the mid -range segment. Samsung’s decline, in perspective Samsung controlled almost 20% of the Chinese market in 2013a figure similar to its global participation. By 2023, that quota had fallen to 0.8%. This collapse was gradual but unstoppable: the South Korean brand went from being a dominant contender to an almost testimonial presence. Apple has resisted better than Samsung, but The decline is undeniable. Its distributions in China maintain a 14.1 % share in the first quarter of this year, which places it in fifth place behind the four large stores. To try to stop the trend He started offering discounts on the iPhone before serving one year in storesomething suspiciously unusual in its commercial policy. Little has to do with China’s ranking … … with the global: Especially in their kings. The phenomenon goes beyond technical characteristics or price. It is rooted in the change in consumption habits of Chinese citizens, increasingly inclined to support their own. Since 2022, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) proposed a subsidy program for terminals below 6,000 yuan (about 830 euros), structurally favoring local manufacturers, who handle prices just below that barrier. To this is added the impact of the commercial war with the United States. Tariffs imposed by Trump and Technological War They have reinforced nationalist bias: The consumer perceives the foreign product as less desirable. A similar case occurred with Samsung after The deployment of the Thaad antimisile system In South Korea in 2015. Then, the Anticorean feeling triggered the rejection of its products in China. Now try to return to the Chinese market with His galaxy c (The ‘C’ is for ‘China’), but it seems a complicated return. Huawei, with his turn towards self -sufficiency and not only towards competition against the rest, is a perfect example of the materialization of Xi Jinping’s technological doctrine. Huawei resurfaced from the ashes of US sanctions, not only recovering market share but Building its parallel ecosystem. Apple and Samsung, the two world leaders of mobile telephony, have a problem of difficult solution in China. It is not only to scratch market share, but to articulate a credible value proposal in an environment where the foreign brand condition is, today, competitive disadvantage. Its price strategy, alliances with operators and product adaptation will be key to a possible reconquest.

The Bible was always the most sacred book. The young Christians are filling it with post-ps, underlined and cuquis covers

by

It was inevitable: the increase in young people making visible their membership in different creeds has led to absorption by religions, more needy than ever of new faithful, of many of their customs and ways of expressing themselves. One of the last: the personalized Bibles, an authentic fever that hides more than young faithful making a sacred book. Make your own Bible. An almost professional customizer as Kaylee Armbrustwhose content is entirely on religious issues, shared in the summer of 2024, in a video reproduced more than two million times, a series of ideas To take notes in the Bible: post-ps, underlined, margins, added pages, additional texts … an authentic codes and colors festival to enhance the reading of the sacred book of the Christian faithful. 11 tricks to dominate Tik tok #Biblestudy. Of course, it is not the only one: through hashtag #Biblestudywhich already has almost two million publications, you can find multiple faithful (the vast majority, women) painting their bibles and doing tutorials on how to do Personalized thematic indices or decorate them as if they were literally a school newspaper. The result is small works of art of obsessive thought. In Spanish they also abound, of course, with hashtags like #FEEATIVA, #Diariobiblico either #yopintomibiblia. Change faith. This personalization of the Bibles reflects a change in the relationship of people with faith: before, the sacred from the collective was venerated, now believers have more individual and personalized beliefs. That’s why Sacred objects They begin to customize towards the identity and aesthetics of each one. Of reminders of faith have become an exclusive expression of what each one believes. Digital, of course, It has a lot to do with this changeand obviously, the younger believers have been one of the Great drivers of this change. This is the youth of the Pope. You just have to take a looktags like #christiantiktokwith more than 22 million publications or #JOVENESCRISTIANOSits equivalent in Spanish, with almost five million, to understand to what extent young people have become one of the fundamental engines of this resurgence of religions in networks. We have talked about Hakuna phenomenon And how 85,000 people congregated in cyber, a number of audience worth competing with pop stars, or young nuns that From his convents They have become authentic Influencers. The next step is in the details: young Christians carrying their personality to everyday attitudes such as reading the Bible. And you get money. In addition to the undisputed rejuvenating touch that these activities have, that many of these young people see as a way to evangelize attractively, there is the possibility of doing business. The one of Journaling to dry It crosses, in Etsy, with the market of the Personalized Biblesmany of them with a very useful additive: wider margins with space to take notes. Leather covers abound and tapas orders are accepted with the client’s name, although the truth is that there are few pleasures such as fill with oneself The sacred book. Young people are getting something unpayable in the times that run, in which the number of Christians descends without brake (in Europe 17 million faithful has fallen In the last five years): Provide visibility in networks to which the Church cannot aspire. And the Cuquis Bibles are just one more proof that the sacred sometimes takes unusual ways to survive.

Just when the batteries were breaking all the records came the ultra-infinity mobiles. China has a lesson for them

by

He Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge He has just come to the market. It is a telephone that presumes finishes and whose main argument is in an ultra -launch design that differentiates it from your family brothers Galaxy S25. The problem? Miracles do not exist, and having less space for components translates into a smaller battery. The only solution to get less size to have a decent battery density is to bet on the Silicon-carbona technology that Samsung has not implemented in its EDGE. Result? A high range with 6.7 inches and 3,900mah, A countercurrent movement of the industry. One day of use. Despite the little battery capacity, Samsung promises that its Galaxy S25 Edge will last a day without too many problems. The problem here is that, for a while to this part, the rest of the manufacturers have been obsessed that their phones last more than a day. In fact, today a day of intensive use is a somewhat poor figure. Devices like him Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, iPhone 16 Pro Maxand virtually any high range from China reaches two days of use or, at least, the day and a half with intensive use. There are no miracles in optimization. The phones They are increasingly powerfulits processors are comfortable between the three and the four nanometers and we have been with optimizations in each of the telephone components to minimize energy consumption. But the new bright screens consume energy, the Snapdragon 8 Elite It is something swallow, and have a phone with the ability to record 8K, execute games in maximum resolution at 120 Hz and, ultimately, to pull with everything, spend drums. A countercurrent. 10,000mahit is what has managed to introduce real to a phone with a habitual thickness. Honor already has phones with batteries of 8,000mahand this year it has been clear that even the old 5,000mah barrier begins to fall short. Speaking an Android phone with 3,900Mah is risky, a lot. We are facing a change of generation in batteries. That day and a half is about to become a new scarce figure, and that is that with the democratization of batteries close to 10,000mAh we will have better autonomies than ever. Silicon-carbon is still a face and incipient technology, but China is squeezing to turn it into the standard of its phones. The solution. Xiaomi herself told us that some of its mobiles land with less battery in Europe with respect to China for a simple reason: The costs. These gigantic batteries are not economical, and manufacturers like Samsung bet on traditional technology to contain the price of their devices. Despite this, the only alternative to view if the ultradelgated phones want to succeed is to bet on silicon-carbon, even if necessary to cut in other specifications. Can. The ultra-of the mobile with good battery exists, and we have examples in the Tecno Spark Slim. 5.75mm for a 5.200MAH battery phone. It is an exception, yes, but it is the proof that it is possible to launch phones with large batteries and record thicknesses. They are not alone. The next stone on the road to the ultra-decaded mobiles will put Apple with its iPhone 17 Air. A phone that, except miracle, will also land with a traditional battery of a fairly content size.

20 years later, if you want to find something on the Internet you are looking for it in Reddit

by

Reddit It started as a discussion forum and became a social network, but what nobody imagined is that 20 years after its creation what many do It is not so much to participate in Reddit and Search in it (Oa through it). Its evolution is a sign of the times. Google’s search engine is broken And search engines want to take over, but they are still somewhat green. And among the deficiencies of one and others, Reddit has become that place where to look for answers. And he has done it for a fundamental aspect. One of which Steve Huffman spoke, his co -founder and current CEO, who celebrated that twentieth anniversary In a post in Reddit. As he explained, “Reddit works because he is human”. It is a slightly strange way to qualify at a social service or network like yours, but it is true: in the face of the flood of the contents of other platforms, Reddit forums continue to be a wonderful chaos of human texts. Users share, think and reflect there of everything imaginable, and that has become an absolute treasure in an internet full of bots and that endangers among other things by the fearsome “Ai Slop”. Reddit itself has recognized how its role has evolved. Until recently, their slogan, the phrase they identified with, was “The Front Page Of The Internet“(” The Internet cover “) A”Dive Into Anything“(” Immerse yourself in anything “). Internet has changed and now that cover is a personalized. And if there is something you can customize today on the Internet is Reddit: by “immersed” In any of its subnetdits And join them, your own internet cover is formed. One with the themes, forums and subrreddits that most attract your attention. That does not prevent this social network from adapting to the new times. Reddit is wonderful for its diversitybut little by little it integrates advantages provided by artificial intelligence. Thus, it is possible to continue surprising with Bizarros and spectacular subrreditslike this one who speaks of Airport Moquetasthis one that does so photos where the letter g appears Or, already put, this with Subrredits lists where that endless variety is demonstrated. And in all of them, the commendable work not only of users, but of the moderators. But we also found, as Huffman pointed out, that integration of AI through Reddit Answers. He himself clarified the mission of this project: “Facilitate access to the seemingly infinite human knowledge of Reddit. Most Reddit conversations occur in posts of less than a day old. Reddit Answers unlocks the other 20 years. Reddit Answers does not replace conversations, but is a faster path to them.” This colossal diversity and that adaptation to the new times maintaining the absolute focus on human conversation has gradually made Reddit become One of the few bastions that have weighed from the primal internet Together with sites like Slashdot either Hacker News. A more anarchic and more chaotic, less predictable, less conquered by the algorithm. That gives it a spectacular value, and the big ones know more and more. To tell Google herself, which has ended up paying her A little fortune to Reddit to train his artificial intelligence models. It was the same thing that did some time before OpenAiand in both cases the reason was clear: the Reddit content has a very special value for being eminently human. That value is such that those who seek on Google take advantage of it. It is very normal since when we look for opinions on any subject, we use Google search engine But adding as a “Reddit” coletilla so that results belonging to said platform appear. It is an excellent sign for Reddit’s health, no doubt. Here the threat is that search engines end up taking advantage of all that knowledge without the return in traffic for the social network –as for the media and creators-. It is likely that this happens, but here Reddit will continue to have the same value with which it was created and that now is its spearhead. Human conversations.

The critical metal that China has become its new strategic weapon

by

First it was Lithiumthen The cobalt. China has decided to play its letter with another essential metal for advanced technology: Gallium. Although just 760 metric tons are produced per yearprices have shot and Chinese restrictions are suffocating the global industry, what is happening with element number 31? Short. China maintains its dominance over the gallium for the third year, controlling 98.8% of the market. A year ago it hardened restrictions, alleging national securitywhich has doubled prices up to $ 725 per kilogram, affecting the technological and military industry. The utility of the Gallium. Although annual production is small and its nominal value in the global market does not exceed 550 million dollars, its strategic role is disproportionate to its market size. According to He explained For Reuters, the journalist specialized in critical industrial and mineral metals, Andy Home, Gallium is essential to manufacture compounds such as Gallium Arseniuro and Gallium Nitruro, both used In high performance semiconductors. These materials allow to develop faster and more efficient chips, essential for mobile devices, electric vehicles and defense systems. The never ending story. The geopolitical war that the United States and China libes is nothing new And it is not the first time that China has used gallium as a strategic pressure gun against the United States on next generation semiconductor chips. As He has collected Reuters, the China Ministry of Commerce is closely monitoring any attempt for physical arbitration that tries to divert Gallic to the international market, maintaining relatively stable internal prices while the external market faces an explosive increase. It has more size. The importance of the Gallium is not limited to the civil sector, but in the military world it has become a critical material. In fact, who started was the United States through the Agency for Advanced Defense Research Projects (DARPA), which promoted the development of Gallium Arseniuro for radars and guided weapons. However, China He has consolidated Its leadership with the manufacture of gallium nitride chips for advanced weapons, consolidating its position as a leader in the production of strategic semiconductors. In addition, the Asian country has invested significantly in manufacturing plants dedicated to these components, which would allow it not only to dominate the civil market, but also expand its production capacity for advanced defense systems. This strategy not only threatens the United States position in military technology, but also reinforces the global dependence of the Chinese supply of Gallium and other critical metals something that something that something that something that Japan already saw coming. The rest of the countries. In the long term, the West could reactivate the production of Gaul, but that will take time. According to ReutersRio Tinto has begun to extract pure Galician in his vaudreuil alumina refinery, in Quebec, from industrial waste. The objective is a pilot plant with a capacity of 3.5 tons per year. For its part, in Greece, producer Metlen plans to reach an annual production of 50 tons by 2028, as part of a project to increase the processing capacity of bauxite and alumina. However, the challenge is technical: Western companies stopped producing Gaul years ago, when China flooded the market with cheap product. Now, they must recover the experience and the know-how To refine and process metal. Forecasts The battle for Gaul is only the prelude to a broader technological war. China has shown that it is willing to use critical metals as strategic weapons, and the West faces the challenge of finding alternatives or risking to be exposed to future interruptions, such as He has sentenced Andy Home for Reuters. While investments in new projects are promising, time runs. Until the West does not manage to diversify its supply of Gallium and other critical metals, it will remain vulnerable to Beijing pressure strategy.
