WASHINGTON--American high-tech products that have traditionally escaped restrictions on exports to China could be scooped up in an upcoming proposal outlined Friday by a Bush administration official.

Speaking at the Center for Strategic and International Studies here, Undersecretary of Commerce David McCormick said his department plans in the coming weeks to release preliminary rules spanning 47 categories of technology goods. The new policy appears to deal exclusively with China and not other countries for which the United States has historically regulated exports.
