China's newly-revised catalog of technologies prohibited and
restricted from export does not target any specific company, and the
list's content adjustment was released and implemented after completing
legal procedures, the Ministry of Commerce said on Thursday. The catalog released this time is a routine adjustment of the
previous 2008 version catalog in accordance with the development of
science and technology, and the need to promote international scientific
and technological exchanges and cooperation. It does not target
specific companies, said Gao Feng, the ministry's spokesman. According to the government regulation in this area, the Ministry of
Commerce and the Ministry of Science and Technology have been actively
carrying out the revision of this catalog in recent years. They have
widely taken advice from related government branches, business
associations, and academic and businesses circles, the official said. If relevant companies are involved in trade, investment or foreign
economic and technological cooperation in transferring the technologies
listed in the catalogue to other countries, Gao suggested that they
should consult the provincial level commerce department in a timely
manner and proceed in accordance with relevant regulations.
