China proposes export controls on solar-manufacturing technologies

China has proposed new export controls on technologies used to manufacture solar equipment, according to Reuters. The move would restrict the overseas transfer of know-how and equipment behind the country's dominant solar panel production industry. If adopted, the controls could reshape global solar supply chains, as most of the world's panel manufacturing capacity and technology is concentrated in China.

Why now: China dominates global solar manufacturing, so export controls on that technology would have far-reaching effects on energy supply chains worldwide.
