China to overhaul military export regime

摘要

China has proposed new legislation to enhance controls of military exports. The 'Export Control Law of the People's Republic of China (Draft)' has been submitted to the National People's Congress Standing Committee for deliberation. The draft law, which will replace several sets of dated regulations that currently govern China's international military sales, is seen as a response to continuing international criticism of the country's military export policy. The legislation is also indicative of the military-technological progress that China has achieved over the past decade.
