China has again made it difficult to sell machinery and chemicals to Russia
The People's Republic of China has again made it more difficult to sell dual-use goods abroad. They tightened export control rules for such products on December 1. Ekaterina Kizevich, general director of Atvira, an expert practitioner of foreign economic activity, told Izvestia that this will affect chemicals, metals, equipment, and other categories.
The company has already faced difficulties in purchasing argon gas for welding (it was included in the list) before December 1, said Ekaterina Kizevich. According to her, the supplies, which have been agreed and paid for, are now being shipped, while further work will stop for the time being.
The list of dual-use goods includes items, technologies and services that can have both civilian and military applications, explained Vice President of the National Coordination Center for International Business Cooperation (NCC), Deputy Director of ICSA RAS Pavel Kuznetsov.
The list also includes IT equipment and components, added Alexei Razumovsky, commercial director of Impaya Rus (the firm works in this area). According to him, it is now difficult to bring, for example, servers into Russia. And under the new rules, as of December 1, it will become even more difficult. New logistic chains will have to be built, which will probably lead to a rise in the price of the final goods, Razumovsky said.
The situation from December 1 may significantly worsen, confirmed and general director of JSC "First Group" Alexei Poroshin. In his opinion, the main problem will be to make payments.
Earlier, China tightened export control rules for the sale of dual-use goods abroad. They came into force on July 1 this year. Then the list included equipment used in the production of some aviation and space components.
