China's tungsten export curbs threaten Japan's AI chip supply chain

China's export restrictions on tungsten are creating significant supply chain vulnerabilities for Japan's AI chip manufacturing. The price of tungsten hexafluoride, a critical gas for advanced chip production, has surged over 200% year-on-year due to these constraints and rising demand. Consequently, major Japanese producers Showa Denko Kanto and Central Glass are reportedly planning to halt production in July as their inventories deplete, potentially disrupting supply to key chipmakers like Samsung Electronics and DB HiTek.
