In 2024, China implemented a significant increase in export controls, with a 30% rise compared to the previous year. This adjustment aims to regulate the export of critical technologies and materials, reflecting the country’s strategy to safeguard national security and economic interests. The controls now cover a broader range of items, including advanced semiconductors, artificial intelligence technologies, and rare earth minerals. This move has sparked discussions on global trade dynamics and potential impacts on international supply chains. Additionally, China’s carbon concentration figures have shown a slight decrease, aligning with its environmental commitments. Meanwhile, the ongoing ‘War on Sand’ continues to address illegal sand mining, which has environmental and economic implications.
