What happened

Well supportedReported by 9 independent outlets

China announced a series of economic countermeasures against the United States, including controls on drone exports to the U.S. and a ban on dealings with six American entities. These retaliatory measures also included sanctions on a testing laboratory. Further back, China had imposed fresh export restrictions on 56 U.S. companies, including rare earth producers and defense-related firms. These companies were targeted due to their ties to the American military.
