⚡️China has imposed punitive trade measures on 28 U.S. companies, including major defense contractors such as Raytheon, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin, targeting firms involved in the production or sale of dual-use items—products that can be used for both civilian and military applications, such as advanced electronics, semiconductors, and aerospace technology. The measures include strict export controls that block the sale of such items to China, blacklisting companies to restrict their market access, and banning them from engaging in any business within the country. Additionally, executives from the blacklisted companies are prohibited from entering or residing in China.
