China warns of retaliation if US sticks with robot ban
China’s trade ministry said it would fight back if the United States keeps a rule that stops new Chinese robots and power inverters from being sold in the U.S. China says the rule is unfair and only hurts Chinese companies.
The ministry wants the U.S. to drop the rule right away.
China says it will protect its own interests and will take action if the rule stays.
The U.S. rule is a trade measure that limits imports.
China says it is a one-sided decision that discriminates against its products.
The ministry’s warning shows how trade disputes can turn into political tensions.
China wants the U.S. to stop the ban and treat its companies fairly.
The U.S. has not yet responded to China’s threat.
The situation could affect many Chinese businesses that sell robots and power inverters.
China’s commerce ministry threatened retaliation if the U.S. keeps its import ban on new Chinese robots and power inverters.
The U.S. ban is described by China as unilateral, erroneous, and discriminatory against Chinese firms.
China urged the U.S. to immediately withdraw the measures and stop its “erroneous actions”.
China said it would “resolutely retaliate” and safeguard its interests if the ban continues.
The ban targets new Chinese robots and power inverters, affecting Chinese exporters.
