Its over Taiwan is fucking finished.
>China's Ministry of Commerce said Wednesday that it would suspend natural sand exports to Taiwan, just hours after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi arrived in Taipei.
>In a brief statement on its website, the Commerce Ministry said the export suspension was made based on related laws and regulations and took effect on Wednesday. It didn't say how long the suspension would last.
Oh no! Not the sand!!!!
That sand is used to build houses.
They need that sand to do repairs on the three gorges dam.
Saudi Arabia imports their sand too, Australia user insists that the type they export to Saudi Arabia can’t just be dredged up from the dessert or coastline apparently. Granularity of the sand is a major factor or something
Taiwanese houses must be shit then
I assume Non-Asian Americans are really scared of China, hence the over compensation with all the mocking of China that reeks of desperation?
I hate sand
I n concreat production and under fandaution. If sand is too fine or has too much organic material. Its usless.
But I'm quite sure Taiwan needs sand for industrial production. So fine sand might be fine.
no sand, no concrete. no concrete, no construction.
>t. asshurt wumao
That's the sand used to make concrete.
If there is no Chinese sand, it will cause real estate costs to go up. But Taiwan doesn't care I guess.
Fuck it wasn't worth it to cross the red line bros... The communists are too strong.
>They need that sand to do repairs on the three gorges dam.
the dam that never collapses? that one?
Does this mean they've stopped dredging shit out of RoC waters
That’s good news for us. I smell another couple of billion dollars of exports out of Western Australia for us.
>sand is only in China
Fuck off brainlet
>no retort and resorts to racist chimping out like a nigger
There are at least a half dozen western- friendly countries that export sand. China is just fucking its export dependent economy with this reactionary horesehit.
Do they need it for chip production?
>>sand is only in China
>Fuck off brainlet
actually building sand is in short supply world wide. its also used for fracking.
Yeah, they need a certain type of sand for semiconductors but China isn't the only place to find it.
yes
and rare earth minerals
No silicone for chips too right?
And for the Corning plants..
Oh shit, the real estate! Why didn't we think of that, fellow white devils? Let's all just surrender to China right now.
China bro relax, wars are bad for money making. Bad money making is a not an option for the west.
>its used for fucking
Well stop the porn industry, duh???
Fucking brainlets man
It's probably more expensive to ship that much sand around the world than just across from China to taiwan. There goes mr. Goldsteins profit margins
Australia exports 200 million dollars worth of sand every year, that number is about to go UP
oec.world
Oh no not sand that stuff is so rare
Taiwan is mountains, rock can be crushed to fine, this isn't a problem.
The US will supply them with sand. Checkmate bitch.
>bing bong ching chong u no get our sand now haha
Have fun running your sandships through an ring of chinese destroyers.
Idiot.
Only certain sands can be used in construction, reason why Saudi Arabia spent millions importing sand by cargo ship from Scotland decades ago.
It was already explained in another thread but here I go: If there is any place on earth that is off-limits to everyone and a declared neutral zone, it's TMSC. Every country will bent backwards to supply it with whatever they need.
That's what I was thinking
>only the best quality Chinese sand
Yeah you're a moron
Only certain sand types work to make good concrete needed to make almost everything from skyscrapers to bridges to infrastructure
It's a genuine geopolitical resource
Sand is more important than you realise
Damn, if only there was a chad western nation with absolutely no fucking love for china who had access to vast amounts of sand, more than anyone else on the planet in fact, that could trade with taiwan.
China grows an domestic chip production at the moment, I doubt that they are truly unable to afford such an blockade. The west on the other hand is fucked by this.
