MODERATORS
All the relevant info is there though. It says what exports are going to be tightened and when it'll happen.
It doesn't say what "tightening export controls" actually means though. Does it mean a bunch of paperwork for Chinese exporters to sell the same things to the same people, or is it a meaningful ban of exports to western defence contractors?
Going by previous measures such as gallium and germanium export controls, I'm expecting companies will have to get explicit approval for exports. I'm guessing the goal is to knee cap western chip industry by making it difficult to get critical inputs it needs for chips and other components.
But surely a full article would be more comprehensive than a guess
I mean it's the one I found. Like I'm sure there is more info, probably an official statement even.
