China will restrict exports of several solar technologies, as Beijing seeks to maintain its technological edge in renewable energy while countries including the US and India ramp up domestic manufacturing.

The country will add 12 solar-related technologies and core equipment to a list of items subject to export controls, the Ministry of Commerce said in a statement on Friday, which cited the need to safeguard national security and interests. The measures are part of a broader revision targeting 40 key technologies, including those related to artificial intelligence and biopharmaceuticals.
