China will place export controls on drone and drone equipment in order to “safeguard national security and interests,” its commerce ministry announced Monday, in a move that could impact the war in Ukraine
The restrictions on equipment will require vendors to seek permission to export certain drone engines, lasers, imaging, communications and radar gear, and anti-drone systems. Consumer-grade drones with certain specifications are also subject to the controls, which come into effect September 1. All civilian drones not included in the controls are prohibited from being exported for military purposes, an unidentified ministry spokesperson said in an online statement.
” China’s controls on certain drones prevented them from being used for “non-peaceful purposes,” a spokesperson said, adding that some Chinese civilian drone companies had also “taken the initiative to suspend their operations in conflict areas” since the “crisis” in Ukraine began. Western officials have long warned their Chinese counterparts against providing material support for Russia’s war.
