- China will require export licences for tunnel boring machines from November 18, giving Beijing veto power over all shipments, even foreign-made ones.
- • China’s TBM curbs follow rare earth restrictions against Japan in 2010 and gallium and germanium curbs in 2023, as India expands Himalayan border infrastructure.
