On June 22, 2026, China imposed export controls on 10 U.S. companies involved in defense and rare earths mining, prohibiting Chinese exporters from supplying dual-use items to them. The action followed the U.S. release of a blacklist covering 80 Chinese entities and subsidiaries, including Alibaba, Baidu, and BYD. Both The Hindu and NPR reported the measures as reciprocal responses tied to prior U.S. actions.
