00:00China will tighten export controls on drone-related dual-use items to the United States, with exports of drones, key
00:08components and related technologies on China's dual-use item export control list to be reviewed strictly on a case-by
00:15-case basis, the Ministry of Commerce said on Wednesday.
00:18The move was among four announcements released by the Ministry on the same day, which also included countermeasures against multiple
00:26U.S. entities and the launch of a foreign trade national security investigation into relevant imported printings, copying and office
00:36equipment.
00:38In one order, China added six U.S. entities to its countermeasure list, including Applied DNA Sciences, Inc., Strata Reservoir,
00:48LLC, Altena Technologies, Inc., Responsible Business Alliance, Varite Group, Inc., and Human Rights in China.
00:56Organizations and individuals in China are prohibited from conducting relevant transactions, cooperation and other activities with them.
01:03The Ministry said that the six entities had assisted and supported illegal U.S. sanctions related to Xinjiang after the
01:10United States sanctioned Chinese enterprises on the so-called grounds of forced labor, seriously infringing upon China's sovereignty, security and
01:19development interests.
01:20In a separate order, China added compliance testing, LLC to its countermeasure list, saying the U.S. company had assisted
01:28and supported measures taken by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission that harmed China's sovereignty, security and development interests.
01:36The Ministry also launched a foreign trade national security investigation into relevant imported printing, copying and office equipment, saying preliminary
01:46information showed that imported office equipment installed with foreign system software may affect national security interests in foreign trade.
01:54Let's see.
