Trade: China plans new export controls for key technologies
Beijing wants to control exports of AI and solar technology more closely. The rules are still being prepared, but initial obligations already apply.
China's Ministry of Commerce and Ministry of Science and Technology have proposed stricter controls on the export of 40 key technologies, including artificial intelligence, photovoltaics, and biomedicine. The proposed controls would ban the export of 14 technologies and require licenses for the remaining 26. The technologies subject to controls include 23 AI-related technologies, such as large AI models and AI agents, as well as solar cell manufacturing processes and cell and gene therapy techniques.
The public has until November 15 to provide feedback on the proposal, and companies must already register affected technology transfers, including sales of patents and licenses to foreign entities. Exceptions would be made for access to AI services through apps and websites, as well as finished solar modules.
