China has imposed new export controls on construction equipment, including tunnel-boring machines, some of the largest and most complex industrial devices in the world. The machines are used to build subways and drill roads and railways through mountains, and China dominates the global market for them.

Why now: China's dominance of the tunnel-boring machine market means the new controls could affect infrastructure projects worldwide.
