China Proposes Export Controls on Five Biopharmaceutical Technologies
Start here
On October 16, China's Ministry of Commerce and Ministry of Science and Technology proposed revisions to the catalogue of technologies banned or restricted from export, opening a public consultation with pre-export registration required for listed technologies. The revision spans 40 technologies across artificial intelligence, biopharmaceuticals and photovoltaics. Five biopharma technologies would be added: three banned outright — original cell and gene therapy process platforms, small nucleic acid drug process platforms, and artificial genetic modification of pathogenic microorganisms with directed passage gain — and two restricted, covering new target discovery and validation technologies for cell and gene therapy and for small nucleic acid drugs. The consultation is the current stage of the process; the final catalogue and its effective terms are not yet settled.
