China will "resolutely retaliate" and safeguard its interests if the United States insists on acting unilaterally over an import ban on new Chinese robots and power inverters, the commerce ministry said on Thursday.
China on Wednesday urged the United States to withdraw new measures aimed at protecting its artificial intelligence industry, accusing Washington of discriminating against Chinese companies and products.
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) introduced the measures on Tuesday, saying they were designed to shield the country’s AI development from national security risks and bring back key industries expected to see rapid growth.
China’s Ministry of Commerce said the FCC had ignored Beijing’s repeated objections and continued to expand restrictions on Chinese technology firms.
The ministry accused Washington of using national security concerns as a pretext for what it called "market distortion and unilateral bullying behaviour" that harms both Chinese and U.S. industries.
In separate news, China’s cyberspace regulator on Wednesday released a draft law aimed at combating cyberbullying, including abuse enabled by artificial intelligence, as Beijing increases oversight of online activity.
The Cyberspace Administration of China said the proposed rules would apply to cyberbullying activities inside China, as well as foreign organisations and individuals targeting users in the country.
