The Commerce Ministry said that Chinese companies would be blocked from exporting "dual-use" items to the 10 companies, which include military drone makers and some involved in rare earth mining.

US sanctions designed to crush China’s tech ambitions achieve the exact opposite, brilliantly. Banning Nvidia from selling its best hardware practically hand-wraps a domestic monopoly for Huawei as protectionism proves to be the ultimate catalyst for competitors.

tRump's 'tough on China' sanctions just triggered retaliation: Beijing is now cutting off dual-use tech to US drone and defense firms and blacklisting purchases from major American contractors. This is how you weaken US industry while claiming to protect it. Brilliant strategy. mcsp.short.gy/wn5t

China team drafts ‘comprehensive’ sanctions list targeting US, allies on 63 tech sectors Since US President Donald Trump launched a tariff war against China during his first term in office, Washington has steadily expanded restrictions on Chinese access to advanced technologies, targeting semiconductors, artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing, aerospace systems, supercomputers and a broad range of dual-use technologies.
