China has tightened export restrictions on drones destined for the United States, in response to Washington's expanded technology controls.

Beijing has also imposed sanctions on several American companies as part of a series of punitive measures, according to Asharq.

China's Ministry of Commerce said Beijing has introduced four sets of countermeasures in response to US actions.

The US Federal Communications Commission had previously banned certain foreign-made robots and power adapters, and more than 40 Chinese companies are set to be added to a blacklist over alleged use of Uyghur-linked forced labor.
