China is planning to restrict the export of technology crucial for the global electric vehicle (EV) industry, as tensions with the US continue to rise. The proposed measures include adding battery cathode technology to the list of controlled exports, along with restrictions on technology related to lithium and gallium production.
If approved, these new controls would further solidify China's dominance in critical materials and technologies essential for manufacturing semiconductors and EV batteries. The move comes amidst a tech rivalry with the US, with China aiming to implement fair and non-discriminatory export control measures.
