China Targets India, U.S. With Export Restrictions on Key Solar-Manufacturing Technologies
China proposes export controls on 12 photovoltaic technologies, according to the supplied text, which truncates the reference at "the Ministry of Com". The same text carries items reporting that a portion of Apple's iPhone 14 manufacturing is relocating from China to India ahead of schedule, and that Apple is in talks to make Apple Watches and MacBooks in Vietnam for the first time.
Why it matters: The proposed export controls and the concurrent relocation of Apple production indicate how export restrictions and supply-chain diversification are reshaping technology manufacturing across Asia.
