China hits back at US 'ban' on its tech companies with sanctions on 10 American firms

China has imposed sanctions on 10 US military-linked companies, including drone makers and defense contractors, in retaliation for American restrictions on Chinese tech firms. This move, aimed at safeguarding national security, prohibits Chinese firms from exporting dual-use goods to the targeted US companies. Additionally, a procurement ban bars government entities from buying from 46 other US firms, signaling Beijing's intent to escalate pressure in the ongoing tech and defense standoff.
