* Dowa Holdings, the world’s top producer of high-purity gallium used in products such as wafers and LEDs, said it was investigating the situation.
* A spokesperson for Fujitsu said the company “is currently not active in the semiconductor business, so we are not directly impacted by the export regulations.

* Stellantis Chief Executive Carlos Tavares said the restrictions on gallium and germanium exports should not push Western companies to “decouple” from China.
