China restricts exports to US defense firms in retaliation for Pentagon blacklist sanctions

The Hill—China announced export restrictions targeting American defense companies in direct retaliation for US sanctions on Chinese tech firms following Pentagon blacklisting. Beijing also separately sanctioned 10 US firms over the blacklist designations. The tit-for-tat escalation follows weeks of mounting trade tensions; China also hit Canada with fresh agricultural tariffs in a separate retaliatory move.
