BANGKOK — China announced a series of economic measures Wednesday against the United States, including controls on drone exports to the U.S. and a ban on dealings with six American entities, in response to recent restrictions imposed by Washington.
The measures were described as economic countermeasures and were announced as a direct response to recent U.S. restrictions. The announcement highlights two specific steps: limits on drone shipments to the United States and prohibitions on business with six U.S. entities.
Drone exports controls
One of the central measures explicitly targets drone exports to the U.S., introducing controls on the transfer of unmanned aerial systems and related items to American recipients. The statement framed these actions as part of China’s response to Washington’s recent policies.
Separately, the package includes a ban on dealings with six American entities. The announcement linked these restrictions to the recent measures imposed by the U.S., without further detail in the original report.
