China announced Thursday that export controls on antimony would take effect Sept. 15 .
Tungsten is nearly as hard as a diamond, used in weapons, semiconductors and industrial cutting machines.
China accounted for 48% of global antimony mine production in 2023 , while the U.S. did not mine any marketable antimony.
China is acting more in retaliation "against what it views as an intrusion into its national interests," expert says.
It remains unclear whether China will follow through with a blanket implementation of the latest export controls.
Companies in the U.S. and elsewhere are looking to tap a nascent opportunity.
"They don't want to acknowledge that this could escalate," analyst says.
