Tensions are simmering between the world\u2019s two biggest economies ahead of an expected visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping to the U.S. in September, despite signs of warming ties during his meetings with U.S. President Donald Trump in Beijing in May<\/span>. <\/p>\n

The Commerce Ministry said the sanctions are in response to recent moves from the U.S., including a ban by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission on imports of Chinese drones, and the Department of Homeland Security\u2019s decision to add 43 Chinese companies to the Uyghur Forced Labor<\/span> Prevention Act entity list to prevent imports of goods made with forced labor.<\/p>\n

The \u201cmeasures seriously violate the important consensus reached by the two heads of state and severely damage China\u2019s legitimate rights and interests. China has no choice but to take necessary countermeasures in response,\u201d the ministry said in a statement. <\/p>\n

It emphasized that China was acting with restraint and urged the U.S. to scrap its measures against Beijing and cease its \u201cerroneous practices.\u201d It also warned of further sanctions if the U.S. rolls out new restrictive measures against China. <\/p>\n

Beijing is requiring reviews on a case-by-case basis of exports of unmanned aerial vehicles, their key components and related technologies that are on a list of export-controlled dual-use items that can serve both civilian and military purposes. <\/p>\n

China also banned a company called Compliance Testing LLC from engaging in business in China because it had worked with the FCC in \u201charming China\u2019s sovereignty and security,\u201d according to a separate statement from the Commerce Ministry.<\/p>\n

The ministry also said it was investigating the possible impact on national security of imported printing software and office equipment, but it did not name affected companies. <\/p>\n
