Summary
China's commerce ministry said it would “resolutely retaliate” if Washington pushes ahead with an import ban on new Chinese robots and power inverters, and demanded the measures be withdrawn immediately.
The warning followed FCC measures released Tuesday that target the products on national security grounds, with the agency saying the restrictions would protect the U.S. AI buildout and help reshore fast-growing industries.
Beijing said the FCC ignored repeated Chinese objections and was escalating restrictions anyway, accusing the U.S. of discriminating against Chinese firms and suppressing their products.
China cast the move as an abuse of national security that distorts markets and harms both Chinese and American industry interests, deepening the latest round of U.S.-China tech trade friction.
