China proposes streamlined export rules for low-risk avionics to boost industry

China is seeking public comments on draft rules to streamline export procedures for 'low-risk' aviation components, including engines and inertial navigation systems, currently classified as dual-use items. The change would reduce compliance costs for exporters, marking a shift toward easing export controls in a sector previously subject to strict licensing. This signals a policy pivot to support the domestic aviation industry amid broader trade tensions.
