China has barred domestic organisations from doing business with seven U.S. entities, tightened export controls on U.S.-bound drones and related technology, and restricted U.S. agencies from conducting follow-up factory inspections under China's certification system, in response to recent U.S. restrictions targeting Chinese tech and sanction measures related to Xinjiang.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face new hurdles exporting drones and tech to the U.S. as China tightened reviews and barred cooperation with key U.S. testing firms. Adjust your supply chain and certification plans immediately to avoid costly delays and blocked deals.
