Beijing has announced sweeping trade curbs against the United States, including tightened export controls on drones. These measures come as retaliation for Washington's widening tech curbs and recent trade sanctions on Chinese technology.
As part of these retaliatory actions, China has blacklisted and sanctioned six American entities. The government has imposed a ban on dealings with these companies alongside the new restrictions on drone exports.
These developments occur as Chinese President Xi Jinping prepares to meet with US President Donald Trump in September.
