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 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.
