Alloys make the list too, as allies try to ensure foes can't weaponise tech
The US has tightened export controls on quantum computing and semiconductor technology to address national defense and foreign policy concerns posed by foes including China, Iran, and Russia.
"Today’s action ensures our national export controls keep step with rapidly evolving technologies and are more effective when we work in concert with international partners," said Alan Estevez, under secretary for the Bureau of Industry and Security, in For example, the new ECCN B910 specifies kit related to alloy manufacturing, as those substances are used to produce parts for missiles, aircraft, and propulsion systems. Another new ECCN is"3A904 Cryogenic cooling systems and components," which focuses on"items that are relevant for research on quantum systems with a larger quantity of physical qubits.
Lately, the lesson that allies are needed appears to have been taken to heart.
