China may be restricting wireless charger wattage in smartphones, here’s why it may affect you

The days of wireless charging going up and up and at times insanely up may be limited. The reason: China is seemingly looking at restricting wireless charger wattage to a maximum of 50W. According to information reportedly shared by China’s ministry of industry and information technology, “From January 1, 2022, all mobile and portable wireless charging devices produced, imported, sold, and used in China should not exceed 50W.” This is said to be part of a document titled ‘Interim Provisions on Radio Management of Wireless Charging’.

At present, there’s no other information available on this including the likely reasons behind this capping on wireless charging wattage by China.
