China limits drone-related exports due to US tech tensions.

China Implements Export⁣ Controls on ⁢Drone Equipment to Safeguard⁢ National Security

In a move to protect its national security and interests⁢ amid escalating tension with the United States, China has announced export controls on certain drone-related equipment. The restrictions, set to take effect ⁣on September 1, will apply ​to equipment such as drone engines, lasers, communication equipment, and anti-drone systems, as stated by the commerce ministry. The controls will also prohibit the‍ export⁤ of civilian ⁤drones for military purposes. China’s drone manufacturing industry, which exports to various markets including the U.S., will be significantly impacted‍ by⁤ these measures.

A spokesperson for the ministry emphasized that this expansion of drone control is a demonstration ‍of China’s responsible stance​ as a⁤ major country, its commitment to global security initiatives, and its dedication to maintaining world peace. Relevant countries and regions ​have been notified of⁣ these measures. Notably, Chinese-based ‍company DJI, which manufactures over 50% of drones‍ sold ⁢in the U.S. and is widely ⁢used⁤ by public safety agencies, has not yet commented on the potential impact of these export controls.

China’s announcement of drone ⁢export controls follows its recent implementation of export controls on ⁣metals essential for chipmaking. These​ measures​ are a response to ‍the United States’ efforts⁢ to restrict‍ China’s access to key technologies. The ongoing trade tensions between the two countries continue to shape the global tech landscape.
