China Tightens Export Controls on Aviation and Aerospace Technologies

New regulations aim to protect national security and fulfill international obligations amid escalating US-China tech rivalry.

Export restrictions will cover aerospace components, engines, and bulletproof materials starting July 1.
Exporters must obtain licenses for items with potential military applications.
The move is seen as a response to US and EU measures to reduce reliance on Chinese tech.
Analysts warn that these controls could accelerate the decoupling of US-China defense industries.
China emphasizes that the controls are not targeted at any specific country or region.
