China has imposed export controls on 10 American companies involved in defence, aerospace and rare earth mining, in response to Washington's decision to expand a blacklist of Chinese firms it says have links to the country's military.
The measures were announced on Monday by China's Commerce Ministry, which said Chinese exporters would be prohibited from supplying "dual-use" items to the listed entities. Dual-use goods are products that can have both civilian and military applications.
The ministry said the move came "in response to the US government's egregious act of adding to its so-called 'Chinese military enterprise list'", adding that it was also intended to "safeguard national security".
