BEIJING, July 31 (Reuters) – China on Monday announced export controls on some drone-related equipment, saying it wanted to safeguard “national security and interests” amid escalating tension with the United States over access to technology.
The restrictions on equipment including some drone engines, lasers, communication equipment and anti-drone systems would take effect on Sept. 1, the commerce ministry said.
The controls would also affect some consumer drones and no civilian drones could be exported for military purposes, a ministry spokesperson said in a statement.
