China announced export controls on unmanned aerial vehicles and a ban on dealings with six American entities on May 8, 2026, citing U.S. restrictions including an FCC import ban on Chinese drones and the addition of 43 Chinese firms to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act entity list. The measures follow meetings between Xi Jinping and Donald Trump in May and precede an expected September visit by Xi to the United States. Beijing's Commerce Ministry described the U.S. actions as violations of prior leader-level understandings.
