GUANGZHOU -- The Chinese government is poised to intensify trade restrictions on technology used to make materials for electric vehicle batteries and semiconductors in a bid to maintain its competitive advantage against the U.S.
The new curbs will apply to production technology for gallium, an element used to make semiconductors, and cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Those looking to move the tech overseas would need permission from the Ministry of Commerce.
