China to Strictly Review Drone Exports to U.S.

China’s Ministry of Commerce announced on the 5th that it would conduct strict case-by-case reviews of exports to the United States of drones, key components and related technologies listed on its export control list for dual-use items. A ministry spokesperson said the measure was a countermeasure to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission’s announcement in late July that it would ban imports of advanced robots, including humanoid robots.
