Since US President Donald Trump launched a tariff war against China during his first term in office, Washington has steadily expanded restrictions on Chinese access to advanced technologies, targeting semiconductors, artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing, aerospace systems, supercomputers and a broad range of dual-use technologies.These export controls are aimed at slowing China’s rise in high-end manufacturing and frontier science.But Beijing’s rapid progress in a number of strategic sectors has forced a dramatic shift: China is no longer merely a target of technology restrictions – it may also need its own system to restrict the outflow of critical technologies in areas where it has achieved global advantages.

China is reportedly drafting a comprehensive sanctions list targeting the United States and its allies across 63 technology sectors. This move comes in response to escalating US restrictions on China's access to advanced technologies, including semiconductors, AI, and quantum computing, which aim to slow China's technological advancement. The article suggests that China's own rapid progress in strategic sectors has prompted this potential shift towards implementing its own restrictions on critical technology outflows. This development indicates a potential retaliatory measure by China against the ongoing technology export controls imposed by the US.
