So, 2 questions 1, how do I get gallium, and 2 how do I give it to the PRC so they can get a bigger monopoly.

Building on that but on a more serious front, what third world countries in the world have more exploitable galium production that could get democratically expropriated by the international community?

None so far, except ukraine has found some gallium ores. But those minerals lie in the Donetsk region, so it can't be exploited. And ukraine will never get Donetsk so right now the west is completely starved of this resource.
