The Chinese government is implementing new export restrictions on technologies, software, and equipment used in the aviation industry. These restrictions will take effect on July 1 and are outlined in a joint statement from the Ministry of Commerce, the General Customs Administration (GTU), and the Central Military Council of the People’s Republic of China. According to data from the GTU, the top three importers of Chinese products for the aviation sector from January to April 2024 were the United States, Germany, and Saudi Arabia. This move by the Chinese government is seen as a measure to protect sensitive technologies and equipment in the aviation industry.
The Ministry of Commerce in China has stated that these restrictions are being put in place for national security reasons and are not targeted at any specific countries or regions. Companies that wish to export products and technologies that fall under these restrictions will need to seek permission from the Ministry of Trade before doing so.
This announcement has sparked concern among some countries regarding their ability to access critical components for their aviation industries. However, according to sources close to the matter, this move is solely aimed at protecting sensitive technologies and equipment used in military and aviation applications.
