The Chinese authorities have implemented export restrictions on technologies, software, and equipment used in the aviation industry. These restrictions will take effect on July 1, according to 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. The affected items include aircraft engines, gas turbine engines, and polyethylene fiber used in military and aviation equipment.
The Chinese Ministry of Commerce has stated that these export restrictions are being put in place for reasons of national security. They emphasized that they are not directed at any specific countries or regions. Companies that wish to export products and technologies subject to these restrictions will be required to obtain permission from the Ministry of Trade.
According to data from the GTU as reported by the South China Morning Post newspaper, the top three importers of Chinese products for the aviation sector in January-April 2024 were the United States, Germany, and Saudi Arabia.
