Beijing Flips the Script on US Tech War and Tests Truce Weeks Before Xi's Visit Beijing has launched a barrage of trade countermeasures against seven American companies and organizations, underscoring that despite last year's truce in South Korea, tensions between Washington and Beijing remain high.
The Ministry of Commerce has barred Chinese entities from doing business with these US firms, tightened export controls on drones and related technology, and prohibited cooperation with US compliance and certification bodies.
This move appears to be a response to recent US restrictions on Chinese imports, including the addition of over 40 Chinese companies to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act entity list.
