China Targets India, U.S. With Export Restrictions of Key Solar-Manufacturing Technologies
China has proposed export controls on 12 solar technologies, citing national security. The new U.S. ambassador to New Delhi said India will be invited next month to join a new U.S.-led initiative aimed at securing AI supply chains. A think tank affiliated with China's National Development and Reform Commission said in an analysis that current tensions between the United States and India extend beyond the president.
Why it matters: The proposed export controls place solar-manufacturing technology inside the wider contest over critical supply chains between China and the United States and its partners.
