End of export curbs spurs technology sales to China

Article Abstract:

The official termination of the duties of the multinational body called Coordinating Committee on Multilateral Export Controls has opened the opportunity for more extensive technology sales to hitherto blacklisted countries such as China. Although the termination does not remove restrictions on direct sales to the military of those countries, it will make available to their commercial sectors high-quality telecommunications equipment. Many Western companies will likewise benefit from the lifting of the ban. US firm AT and T, for instance, has already made $70 million in sales of equipment to China.
