Nation plans tech export rule changes

China's proposal to adjust its catalog of technologies subject to export bans or restrictions aligns with international practices and will enhance its management of technology trade, industry scholars said on Friday.

The Ministry of Commerce on Thursday issued a notice soliciting public feedback on the adjustment of a catalog of technologies that are subject to export bans or restrictions.

The adjustment, initiated by the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Science and Technology, would add one item, revise one item and remove three items from the catalog to create favorable conditions to support international technological exchange and cooperation.
